Judges, DAs, and defense attorneys can poison a jury before the trial even starts. And here's how. So, when you hear me say the word poison, you're thinking unreasonably influence this jury. No, I'm not talking about that, but I am talking about influencing a jury because the judges, the DAs, and defense lawyers all want to poison the jury before the trial even starts, and it's called voir dire. Voir dire is a French term that means speak the truth. And sometimes people don't always speak the truth in a criminal trial, but in the voir dire process, we're required to speak the truth and ask questions of this jury, probative questions that are going to probe the background of these potential jurors, and we want to find out what their biases and prejudices and beliefs really are. So, the whole purpose of voir dire is to poison the jury pool before the trial starts.
