"you do not want this lady on your jury because recovering alcoholic tends to be all about taking and imposing personal responsibility and that she'll be more focused on that than on the government's burden of proof, so if this is the same person you should strike her for cause and if that doesn't work you should get her off with a peremptory."Source
— Unnamed jury consultant
(Recalled by Brune as the advice given by the jury consultant on why Catherine Conrad should be removed from the jury pool.)
