Judge Vincent Gaughan began to interview potential jurors on Monday. The first five were selected. We discuss what the prosecution and defense are looking for.
NOTE: A previous version of this episode contained an error. It was about the defense argument for excluding an African American woman from the jury. What the defense attorney actually stated as the reasons for excluding her were that she lives in the same part of the city that Laquan McDonald did, has children roughly the same age as he was, and she allegedly would shift the burden of proof from the prosecutors to the defendant. We regret the error.
