Proving once again that you know next to nothing about the standards for qualification of jurors.

You can rant all you want about the way you think the system should work if you were making the rules. But under the rules that exist in Federal court, this guy was on the jury because the defense let him be on the jury. End of story.

So the defense can eliminate everyone in the District of Columbia with no complaint from the judge?

Since you are so knowledgeable, why is it taking so long to indict Russert?

I read that the defense had 10 strikes, no questions asked, and then 2 more if needed. Perhaps they had used their strikes up before this guy came along, or maybe he misrepresented himself in the beginning.
