This page from a legal document, filed on October 13, 2021, discusses the court's authority to manage the jury selection process known as voir dire. It argues that while the court can reasonably limit the time and scope of questioning by attorneys to prevent abuse, the unique circumstances of this case, including extensive pretrial publicity, necessitate an expansion of traditional voir dire protocols to effectively screen potential jurors for bias and prejudice.
