What Right Law Group attorneys say

In felony world, generally here in Colorado what we have, is we have jury questionnaires, that when the jurors come in, they actually go to a separate room downstairs and they are talked to by the jury commissioner and then they're divided up randomly to go to different court rooms. If someone is sent to one of the felony divisions that has a jury questionnaire, those potential jurors, so let's say there's 40 to 60 of them, they're given this packet that the defense attorney and the DA have made together before trial, gone over and everything and they give it to the jurors and the jurors have to sit there and fill out this questionnaire. The questionnaire asks basic demographic information, like your age, your background, where you went to school, what kind of degrees you have, what your views are on law enforcement, what your views are on general things like the charges, whether you've ever been accused of a crime, whether you've ever been a victim or a witness in a crime, it kind of goes through that process.
