questionnaire
On Day 2, prospective jurors were instructed to complete the questionnaire independently and truthfully, sign it under penalty of perjury, and submit it to court staff before leaving. The judge said completed forms would initially be reviewed only by case participants and the Court, with sensitive information assessed before public disclosure. Individual voir dire followed up on answers about prior jury service, hardships, media-based opinions, impartiality, and death-penalty views.
About
The questionnaire was used to assess prospective jurors' ability to decide guilt and any capital sentence impartially. The judge relied on its coverage when declining routine repetition of clearly answered questions and directing individual voir dire principally toward clarifying ambiguity.
