In California, you aren’t allowed to ask jurors their party or religious beliefs. So we find other ways to figure out if a person is a lefty. I try to find out if they watch American Idol or Oprah, who their favorite on the View is, and things like that.
-so when I answer that I only watch Fox News or HGTV and get my news from the internet....they will dismiss me? LOL
“how could they ask whether you voted dem or rep...I thought we vote by secret ballot?”
That’s what i thought as well. Maybe it varies from state to state, but asking someone who they vote for is not a permissible question in the parts of the woods with which i am familiar.
(It’s usually pretty easy to figure out someone’s political orientation from asking other generic questions)
American Idol and Oprah / Elizabeth and Whoopie.
What would you do with that juror?
