I have questions about exactly what the process is.
Typically, a jury is provided a written questionnaire in advance of coming to Court. The answers they provide are made available to counsel. I understand something like this happened in this case?
First question: Who determined the questions that were to be asked in the questionnaire? Judge Merchan? Or did counsel have input?
Then, there is a certain amount of questioning permitted of the jurors by counsel after they have made it into court (voir dire). Who is doing the questioning? Judge Merchan, or the counsel? How much time is counsel permitted to spend questionning a juror? Has Judge Merchan prevented or forbidden counsel from asking certain questions?
Finally, how many peremptory challenges is each side allowed to exercise?
I have no idea about any of that stuff..................
