Those were some of the issues that attorneys dealt with on the first day of jury questioning, in which 22 people were quizzed and nine of those were dismissed for “cause.” In some cases that meant economic hardship or because they said they couldn’t be fair. Jury questioning continues on Monday and by the start of testimony, 18 will be seated.

Among the 13 who are so far staying: a former assistant state’s attorney who also worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as a man who was convicted of assault, DUI and was entangled in a massive financial scam.

The defense argued to keep an Ecuadorian national.

“She can’t speak English,” Zagel snapped, then denied the request.

:woot:

Hey, among those serving jury duty?

...a man who was convicted of assault, DUI and was entangled in a massive financial scam.


Well, there ya have it folks! Another "NOT GUILTY" hold-out that the defense is looking for and the prosecutors fear.

This guy may as well be tried in another country where American Rich Folks stash their cash and pay no taxes.
