Event Details

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.
