    Well that's interesting. I've never heard of that being done before, but maybe it has in high-profile cases. I remember knowing the races of the OJ jurors, but nothing more. 
    Jury selection is an open process whereby both sides get to ask questions. All of which is recorded by the court stenographer. Seeing how this trial has been televised, cameras were in the courtroom. However, they have never been shown on tv, as far as I can tell. Same with the OJ trial, I believe, as I never saw tv images of the jurors. Artists renderings but not tv coverage. Typically, potential jurors are asked their age, occupation, maybe if they've ever been arrested, etc. Both sides are trying to find reasons for dismissal or for them to be struck. Why some are not opposed or seated and why others are struck, you'd have to ask the prosecutors and defense attorneys.

    Yeah I'm somewhat familiar with the process because I've been a potential juror twice. But I said I have a short attention span and "would struggle to stay focused listening to boring testimony," and was dismissed by the judge each time. I've just never seen Q&A between counsel and potential jurors be published, though I'm guessing it probably has been, but it was a case I wasn't following or something.

    I'm surprised the defense didn't push hard (or maybe they did and failed) for the dismissal of the woman that said she "expressed a positive view of the Black Lives Matter movement, saying: “I am Black. My life matters.”" Good luck planting the seed of "reasonable doubt" in her.

    So Biden said today that he’s praying for “the right verdict” in the Chauvin trial, and that he called Floyd’s family after the jury began its deliberations.

    What the hell is he doing? Should he really be commenting on trials like this or reaching out to the family BEFORE the verdict? And it's not just him. Politicians have been commenting on both trails and active investigations for some time now, and I don't think they should. Especially not the politicians at the very top. Like Trump defending Kyle Rittenshouse without any knowledge or what happened. Or Kamala Harris calling Jacob Blake and telling him she's proud of how he's fighting through the pain with no regard for his alleged sexual assault victim.

    I think Waters put mistrial as a real possibility. As I’ve been saying too much, the left has been out of control lately, especially with the Wright incident. Chauvin is guilty as sin IMO, but the left lost the ability to speak rationally on these terrible matters. Wright was night and day entirely different. Seems we’ve learned nothing since trump nearly got reelected on three words, defund the police.

    I'm surprised it's been reached so soon which to me means that the verdict does not look good for Chauvin. I wonder if he will be stone faced like how he had his knee on George Floyd???

    During selection can’t they dismiss for any reason? They wouldn’t have to push hard for dismissal, they just say “we release juror # x” and move on.
    Or do they actually need a reason and to be approved by the judge?

    Good for Biden making a public comment on the verdict, this is a make or break moment for America and it is good to have a president weighing in and talking with the family of the victim. Let’s hope the jurors are on the right side of history.

    attorney


    oddly enough, he only had one lone attorney, which I read was unusual

    so was the 3.5+ hour closing defense argument

    which basically amounted to: we don't have a defense for his actions, so we're going to argue technicalities ad nauseum to create reasonable doubt
