The Mother of all Jury Questionnaires
Anne Reed over at Deliberations has posted a proposed jury questionnaire for the upcoming federal corruption trial of former Orange County sheriff Mike Corona, his mistress, and his wife. It's a remarkable document -- because of its length and because of the extraordinarily detailed questions. Anne makes a great point in her post -- a proposed questionnaire of this length can be used by other attorneys as a voir dire checklist of sorts. Here are some highlights from the Corona proposed questionnaire:
The defense's proposed questions:
- Which statement do you agree with more? Birds of a feather flock together or opposites attract?
- Have you ever flown on a private jet?
- For you personally, what is the most offensive English curse word or profanity in use today?
- What are your feelings about marriage in general?
I am heartily glad I'm not a potential juror in Orange County!
