A challenge to remove a juror who expresses they cannot be impartial—for example by stating they completely believe a defendant is guilty—because that person has shown a complete disregard for the criminal justice process.
“As part of this process, we have what are called challenges for cause and peremptory challenges. Challenges for cause are if someone gets up and says there's no way I can be impartial, I completely believe if someone's sitting there, they are guilty of the crime charged, obviously that person is not gonna be fair and impartial. The DA is not allowed to keep them on because that person has expressed a complete disregard for the criminal justice process, and we can challenge them for cause.”
