Have you read (or listened to audio) of any of the following books or podcasts by Michael Cohen or Mark Pomerantz? 7f so, please let us know if what you have heard or read affects your ability to be a falr and impartial juror in this case.
- Disloyal: A Memoir
- Mea Culpa (the podcast)
- Revenge

You get a number of challenges to knock jurors out.
So if the juror is not challenged they get on, but that's a bit different from saying both sides wanted that person.....because you can't waste your challenges.
Like if you have 5 times more challenges maybe you would have challenged that person.
Gotcha, our system is broken.
