State quizzing jury scruples debars one man in McNamara trial
In Los Angeles on October 19 seven court days into the McNamara murder trial the state won its first real chance to examine jurors. Clarence Sparrow for the defense yielded the jury box while the state challenged John W. Roberts a real estate dealer with scruples against the death penalty. Roberts was excused after stating he would not convict if the verdict carried a death sentence. The questioning then focused on T Adams a retired real estate dealer described as a socialist. Adams said he favored change in government and opposed violence but claimed his political beliefs would not affect his ability to judge the case.
