How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that when a trial court erroneously strikes a prospective juror for cause, reversal is not automatic and we employ a harmless error analysis
  • \Subjective bias is usually discerned from the prospective juror's verbal [sic — should be \oral\] responses to questions as well as the juror's demeanor in giving those responses.\
  • prospective jurors properly struck for cause after exhibiting “residual hostility” and “resentment” toward criminal justice system in relation to their own prior encounter with the system
  • “A defendant is entitled to fair and impartial jurors, not jurors whom he hopes will be favorable towards his position. A defendant’s rights go to those who serve, not to those who are excused.”
