Quote #2
"The questionnaire was designed to pre-screen for 'the major for-cause strike issues in the case'—that is, 'the trial’s length and schedule, a juror’s personal knowledge of the parties, [the] extent of a juror’s awareness of publicity about the case and the defendant, and any bias due to publicity or as a result of the nature of the charges.'"Source
