Courts - "Post-Chandra Levy murder trial 12/1: The secret juror questionnaires"
Suits & Sentences, a legal affairs blog written by Michael Doyle, a reporter for McClatchy's Washington Bureau, has this entry today. Here is a quote:
Rejecting a bid led by the Washington Post, and joined by other media organizations, D.C. Superior Court Judge Gerald I. Fisher has denied a motion seeking media access to the filled-out juror questionnaires. The main 11-page questionnaire included a number of out-of-the-ordinary questions, concerning matters like prior knowledge of gang activity, attitudes toward tattoos and attitudes toward immigrants.The ILB has had a number of posts on access to juror questionnaires, both filed in and not, as well as a challenge to intrusive questions on a questionnaire.
