How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • A prospective “juror’s having had prior experience as a . . . victim . . . in a criminal proceeding of any kind . . . is not per se disqualifying.”
  • “Even though [the defendant] is now willing to treat the trial record as a suppression hearing record, that waiver cannot deprive the State of the procedure to which it is entitled.”
  • “It is even less tenable to argue that a [prospective] juror is disqualified simply because of the experience of a member of the prospective juror’s family or on the part of a close personal friend.”
  • The trial court noted that the “victim” voir dire question “provokes [] a huge response which would require follow-up questions galore, and we would have to sit here and listen to each incident that the prospective juror has experienced over [his or her] lifetime[.]”
