court of appeals decision; for Sellhausen: Byron C. Lichstein; case activity
Issues (formulated by On Point):
Whether a trial judge has a sua sponte duty to strike a prosepctive juror who is an in-law of the judge.
Whether defense counsel’s use of a peremptory strike to remove the judge’s in-law renders harmless any error in the judge’s failure to remove that juror.
See prior post for further discussion.
