when selecting a jury..the prosecution can dissqualify a few potential juror. but the number is limited.
INDIANA RULES OF COURT
RULE 18 NUMBER OF PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES
(a) In criminal cases the defendant and prosecution each may challenge peremptorily:
(1) twenty (20) jurors in prosecutions where the death penalty or life without parole is sought;
(2) ten (10) jurors when neither the death penalty nor life without parole is sought in prosecutions for murder, and Class A, B, or C felonies, including enhancements; and
(3) five (5) jurors in prosecutions for all other crimes
the problem is when you pool from a racist community, you will get racist jurors
They should have requested to be moved out of county.
Dont get me wrong....I in no way condone this murder or any murder. But unfortunatley until we all change these types of senseless acts will continue and keep us divided.
again.....what can we do to be better?
