Jury Selection Day 2

Jury selection continued as the court set limits on voir dire materials, excused Robert Cody, and denied a challenge for cause to Kenneth Hall.

Full day summary

Jury selection continued with disputes over the scope of questioning in the capital case. The court barred the defense from using its flow chart and related boards during voir dire, required proposed use of photographs to be addressed outside prospective jurors' presence, and declined to allow photographs to refresh Robert Cody's recollection of publicity. Cody was excused because his daytime classes conflicted with the expected trial schedule. After questioning and argument about Kenneth Hall's views on guilt, punishment, mitigation, and individual judgment, the court denied the defense challenge for cause and found him qualified as a potential juror.
