(Picture from San Jose Mercury News - Mounted agencies outside the HP Pavilion Services for Rich)Another day of jury selection was completed. This was the eleventh day of jury selection overall and the sixth day of individual questioning of the prospective jurors. Another 16 jurors were questioned and only three were passed for cause today. Of the thirteen jurors excused, four were for language problems, five for their anti-death penalty position (meaning they would never consider the death penalty), and four for their pro-death penalty position (meaning they jurors would only consider the punishment of death for killing a police officer and would not fairly consider the alternative punishment of life without parole.)
A total of 33 jurors (out of 95 jurors questioned) have now been passed for cause. The trial is in recess Friday and resumes on Monday morning at 9:00 with further voir dire of a new group of 16 jurors.
And the march goes on.
