MMP Defense Verdict Thrown Out Due To Juror Concealment
Posted on November 02, 2007A defense verdict in a medical malpractice case was set aside due to a juror’s failure to disclose nine prior civil lawsuits and a criminal case in response to a written jury questionnaire.

Posted on September 14, 2007During jury selection a potential juror stated she ?did not think she could focus on the trial.? Both sides agreed she should be stricken for cause.

Whose Prejudice Is This Anyway?
Posted on August 24, 2007The Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed a breach of contract case for failure to excuse a Juror Green for cause who said she had a “bad taste” from having been sued in the past which would “probably” cause her to view the case with prejudice one way or another...

Supreme Court Approves Paraphrasing of Standard Jury Instruction during Voir Dire
Posted on July 23, 2007During jury selection in a first degree murder case, the prosecutor paraphrased the standard jury instruction on premeditation, and made certain statements regarding the presumption of innocence. The Supreme Court held it was not error to do so because the prosecutor’s comments were “largely identical to the standard jury instruction,” and, at the conclusion of the case, the jury was correctly instructed on both the presumption of innocence and premeditation...
