Do we know for sure which jurors the defense challenged for cause? If the judge over rules the challenge, the juror is seated, unless the defense uses one of its limited strikes. To my knowledge, we don't know which jurors were challenged for cause.

Nah, we only know some of the ones we had a sidebar on, from the bloggers reporting. There was a lot of talk about this guy and his WaPo connections, etc. No one talked about an extended sidebar or any apparent effort to challenge him for cause.

I'd add, though - given his connections to witnesses, if he was challenged for cause and that was refused by Walton, that'd be a newsworthy topic. I guess we won't know for sure until we see the new trial motion.
