“Impaneling a jury Is Jury Selection”

Read your quote. The jury is impuneled after they are selected!

If the trial begins After Jury Selection, then jury selection would be listed in Pre-Trial Procedures.

And they Are Not.

WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES BEFORE TRIAL?

The court may set any criminal case for a pre-trial hearing before it is set for trial upon its merits. The pre-trial hearing is to determine legal issues only such as:

(1) arraignment of the defendant, if such be necessary;

(2) appointment of counsel to represent the defendant, if such be necessary;

(3) motions for change of venue;

(4) motions for continuance;

(5) defense motions to discover the state’s evidence in the case;

(6) defense motions to suppress (exclude) evidence; and

(7) any other defense motion. These matters are decided by the judge; sometimes the defense and/or prosecution present evidence and/or witness testimony.
