Gees, maybe just perhaps she should of lied to the Judge. She was being honest but penalized at the same time for her honesty.

In this county, for voir dire we just use questions like: Are you a member of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), Are you related to or friends with a member of the District Attorney's Office, etc., generally something tailored to the charges, like if it were a DUI. I worked for a trial attorney for 10 years, and prepared a hundred voir dire questionnaires and never saw a question like the one that Judge used.
