As i read it, the voir dire process has two ways of
rejecting jurors, Strike for Cause and Peremptory Challenge.
Both sides have unlimited Strike's for Cause but each one is
subject to approval from the Judge. So if the bias isn't
obvious you can have the strike rejected (you can still
challenge a juror who you have had a strike rejected on).
My point is that having once worked for a company is
probably not worthy of a Strike for Cause but having been a
defendant in a case against a company that you're a major
shareholder of is potentially another story.
I don't think this undercuts your point, in fact I think it
supports it further. Samsung could certainly argue that if
they had've heard about the Seagate lawsuit they would have
moved to strike for cause.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
