Question on How Common Pleas Jurors Are Chosen
Defense lawyers questioned the selection process for jurors in the Robert Catlin and Lawrence Weichert trial, asking if jurors are examined by jury commissioners before placement in the wheel. The issue touches whether lists are selected or drawn from election polls, with concerns about one-year limits and repeat service. A juror previously on the Louis Cuilli panel was excused, and a Minneapolis note reports on coffee drinking affecting oxygen use and respiration.
