As jury selection continues to progress in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, I will appear on WCCO Radio with Jearlyn Steele to discuss the challenges of picking a fair jury in impossible circumstances. The attorneys need to pick twelve jurors plus several alternatives. There have been a lot of strikes for cause, meaning that the Judge determined that the potential jurors simply couldn’t be fair and impartial. The prosecutors have nine strikes and the defense has fifteen. We will talk about what goes through the minds of attorneys trying to find a jury that will do what you want them to do.
