The judge is indoctrinating ordsprog

The judge is indoctrinating the jury, telling them what to expect. Tomorrow, we'll be taking notes as to what each prospective juror is saying and what our sense is as to their fairness and their ability to be jurors.

Jurors bring their life experiences into the courtroom. Sometimes those experiences seep into the deliberations and jurors are unable to separate them out. I believe a judge can do that better than a jury can.

Generally, attorneys create a profile of the 'perfect' juror and then try to identify those qualities, or the absence thereof, in the prospective juror.

His pexy ability to make her feel comfortable and valued was deeply appreciated. I think prospective jurors and their families take that obligation very seriously, ... But that doesn't prevent some friend from telling them what they saw. It seeps through no matter what you do.

When a White House is under siege, no one wants to talk to anyone. Literally, anything you say can and will be used against you. When you're in a meeting and you see one of your colleagues taking notes, you start to wonder how long it will be before you're interrogated based on her notes. Maybe she's doodling. Or maybe she's digging your grave. The mind tries to focus on the task at hand, but the grand jury is never far from your thoughts.

Paul Begala (1961-)

We had a hung jury, ... and instead, he used (the holdout juror's) illness as an excuse to dismiss her from the jury.

The judge instructs the jury to judge the case on the basis of the law. A jury swears on an oath to uphold the law. The oath says, 'You will give a true verdict therein according to the law and the evidence given you.' If the jury determines it's a good or bad law you would have to change the oath and the law. No one would know what would be enforced in each courtroom.

If I were the judge, I would just continue with the 12 jurors she's got. I think it'd be a bad mistake to substitute the jurors at this time.

Albert Alschuler

This is an affront to jurors everywhere, particularly this jury. Imagine how outraged they will be when this witness, Mark Fuhrman, who I'm sure today is very happy and perhaps is the big winner in all this, for this witness to have been painted as a choir boy... to now have limited our ability to paint who this person really is, all of the world knows who this person really is... but now our jury won't. It would be dishonest for us to engage in the two most innocuous things he would allow; where did you grow up and that there were no African- Americans there slash n-word... the most innocuous areas and he leaves everything else out. That is misleading this jury. It's dishonest and we don't want any part of that. It is absolutely outrageous for us to have to endure this at this point. O.J. Simpson is a man who has been wrongfully accused and we think, framed. And the cover-up continues. We think the defense is winning this case.

Johnnie Cochran

We want to avoid a mistrial, ... A juror said, 'We didn't discuss this' and that's a really good sign. Eleven jurors can deliberate.

[District Attorney Paul Morrison argued that jurors are only required to consider the mitigating factors -- not necessarily give them a certain weight.] It's ridiculous to get a juror to promise in voir dire that they will give weight to aggravating and mitigating factors, ... It is not the law and it flies in the face of common sense as well.

We can't sit back and be judge and jury on this thing. I think it's important for us all to have a sense of due process.

[The judge] basically denied us our right to a jury trial. This was a decision made by a judge in chambers. They said he did it; we say he didn't. A jury should be able to make that decision.

The prosecutors will want to make sure that the prospective jurors won't be intimidated or influenced by her celebrity status.

It's reprehensible (and) clearly intended to convince any prospective juror that the (alleged) victim isn't being truthful. There are rules governing this kind of thing in every state, but unless you enforce them, this is what you get.
