Each confirmed that he or she could be fair and impartial, and defense counsel did not move to strike any these jurors for cause based on their answer to Question 48. (A.345).
For instance, one juror said that she was “sexually molested by an uncle when she was 12 or 13,” but that would not affect her ability to be fair and impartial in the case. (A.345).
