Jury selection

@rondetto Said

An important and very well publicized murder trial was soon to begin. In preparation for the trial, the tiresome jury selection process took place, each side hotly contesting and dismissing potential jurors.

One prospective juror, Dan O'Keefe, was called for his question session.

He was asked, "Property holder?"

Dan replied, "Yes, I am, Your Honour."

Then he was asked, "Married or single?"

Dan responded, "Married for twenty years, Your Honour."

Then the judge asked, "Have you formed or expressed an opinion?"

Dan stated with certainty, "Not in the past twenty years, Your Honour."
