In reply to the discussion: Juror B37 's Husband who is an Attorney Knows Mark O' Mara (Zimmerman's Defense Lawyer) [View all]Just Saying
(1,799 posts)First off, I doubt it will make any difference at this point. If she lied, perhaps she could/would be punished but I don't think it will effect the verdict at this point.
Second, people have mentioned the population of Sanford, but this was a Seminole County Court and jurors would have come from all of the county. Population about 400K.
Next, in what circumstances are jury questionnaires used? Is it a FL thing or done just for high profile cases? I did not fill out any questionaire when I served.
And finally, when I served, we were asked during voir dire if we knew the defendant, victim or lawyers. Interestingly enough, a fellow potential juror was asked by a prosecutor "Do you remember meeting me at so and so's wedding?" Turns out the prosecutor remembered her and was aquatinted with her son. The juror didn't remember the prosecutor but she was subsequently dismissed anyway.
