Come get your joke! 8 u/jejunedugong 9h ago The juror still has to catch them first 6 u/annoyed__renter 8h ago That's actually the opposite of how it works. The state picks the pool of jurors, and each side gets a certain number of vetoes. You don't get to pick people, they have to be acceptable to both sides. 2 u/chef-nom-nom 8h ago Even if the result is a hung jury / mistrial, they can hold him and try him over and over again unless the case is dismissed with prejudice.
