Is it possible to "pick the right jury"? Why or why not?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Yes and no. The process of selecting a jury, known as voir dire, allows attorneys for both sides to question potential jurors about their backgrounds and beliefs. The goal is to ensure that the jury is as impartial as possible. Attorneys can challenge potential jurors and have them removed if they believe they would be biased. However, the idea of "picking the right jury" implies a level of manipulation or control over the jury's eventual decision, which is not the intent of the selection process. It's also important to note that people's biases and prejudices can be unconscious and not easily detected during voir dire. Therefore, while attorneys can attempt to select a fair and impartial jury, it's not guaranteed that they can always "pick the right jury" in terms of predicting the outcome of the trial.
