Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If there is a bias or other legitimate reason that a person cannot sit as a juror, they will be excused for cause. This is not the same as being excused with a peremptory challenge, which does not require a specific reason. The judge may also ask the potential juror to leave the courtroom, but this would not necessarily be due to bias or other disqualifying factor. The attorneys making a recommendation to the court is not the appropriate process for determining if a juror should be excused.
