We talk about a criminal trial as if it was a single event but of course that’s not entirely true. A trial is made up of multiple parts starting with jury selection and going all the way to the delivery of a verdict. Not all of these stages of a trial always get attention but each of them can be tremendously important. In fact, some attorneys claim that a trial can be won or lost in the jury selection process– and that, of course, happens before any case is made to that jury. That is why we have decided to launch a new occasional series we are calling Anatomy of A Trial. In each segment, we will talk to an experienced trial lawyer who will go in depth with us about a particular piece of a trial.Our expert today is Tim Sledd. We will be talking with Tim about voir dire, the process of jury selection. How are jurors picked? What kind of strategies do lawyers use when looking for jurors? How do attorneys try to build a rapport with jurors even before opening statements are delivered?Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We wish I could automate all our New Year’s resolutions.

On March 18, 2023, Angela Craig died in a hospital after a mysterious illness. The 43-year-old Aurora, Colorado woman left behind six children and a husband, James. Those close to the Craigs were immediately suspicious, and made those concerns known to medical personnel and law enforcement. James Craig was a dentist with a history of personal problems. His colleagues suspected him of doing the unthinkable: poisoning Angela. And detectives uncovered a trove of evidence as they dug into his dealings. In this episode, we will focus on the probable cause affidavit for Craig's arrest, along with a few recent developments.The probable cause affidavit for the arrest of James Toliver Craig: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23718101-23cr664-craig-james-toliver_redactedJoin our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
