[Bloody Sam Roberts]

So the prospective juror is not under oath when being questioned by the attorneys for either side?

According to the info at the link in Post #27 that's the way it works.

Not right at all. But, up until selected, the potential jurors are only registered voters and have no info on what the case actually is or who is involved (defendant).

In some states they tell jurors what the charge is, and jurors get a better idea about the case from the questions they are asked. Federal jury procedures are different.
