questionnaires
questionnaires
To complete the jury questionnaire, jurors must swear to truthfully answer the same
under penalty of perjury; jurors are also placed under oath prior to answering questions in voir
dire. See e.g., United States v Parse, 789 F3d 83, 88 (2d Cir 2015). A juror who knowingly
submits false answers on the jury questionnaire and/or during voir dire testimony may expose
himself or herself to arrest and prosecution, while jurors also maintain a fifth amendment right
against self-incrimination. Id., at 91.

Carmichael, 342 F. Supp. 2d 1070, 1072 (M.D. Ala. 2004)). For example, courts have allowed
the press to intervene in criminal cases to assert the First Amendment rights of the Press. See In
re Associated Press, 162 F.3d 503, 506- 507 (7th Cir. 1998). Courts have also allowed
