Summary
This legal document, a page from a court filing, discusses the issue of juror bias in sexual abuse cases. The author argues against a mandatory presumption of bias for jurors who are survivors of sexual abuse, citing legal precedents like State v. Ashfar and Torres. The document asserts that the court correctly conducted targeted inquiries into jurors' ability to be impartial, rather than automatically striking them, noting that a contrary rule would disqualify a large portion of the jury pool.

Key Quotes (2)
"when called for jury service in another sexual assault case involving an alleged victim who was a minor, Juror 6 acknowledged that he could not sit on that jury due to his feelings about his daughter; and . . . there appears to be little in the way of logical explanation for how he could have differentiated between the two cases."Source
