No they don’t, there is no limit to how many jurors you can strike for cause. It would take them a long ass time to select them but it’s not unusual in cases like this for the process to take as much as a year.
But at the end of the day the prosecution will have a jury that holds little sympathy. Anyone who did has already posted on social media about this which will be used to strike them.
And that is assuming the prosecution won’t find additional grounds for striking them such as anyone who had their claim denied recently.
Jury selection always favors the prosecution and for high profile cases it favors them more since the public is naturally tainted.
The jury will end up being made up of 55-65 white male executives from up-state New York simply because they will end up being the only ones who have not tainted themselves with shitty takes on Twitter.
The murder 2 charge is a slam dunk, so are the weapon charges.
This will not be a case of jury nullification since it requires a unanimous consensus.
Any ideological holdouts would likely won’t pass selection and for sure won’t hold up to sequestering since there is no way a judge would call for a mistrial after an already lengthy selection process until weeks and maybe even months pass in deliberations.
Anyone who thinks this guy would get off needs to get out of their bubble.
