Judge Vincent Gaughan
began to interview potential jurors on Monday. The first five were selected. We
discuss what the prosecution and defense are looking
for.
NOTE: A previous version
of this episode contained an error. It was about the defense
argument for excluding an African American woman from the jury. What the defense attorney actually stated as the
reasons for excluding her were that she lives in the same part of the city that Laquan McDonald
did, has children roughly the same age as he was, and she allegedly would
shift the burden of proof from the prosecutors to the defendant. We regret the
error.
