Anatomy of A Trial: Voir Dire: Attorney Tim Sledd Explains Jury Selection

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?

We wish I could automate all our New Year’s resolutions. Like if we didn’t have to muster the willpower to go on a walk for exercise, or if we could automatically kick ourselves off our phones and launch Margaret Millar books into our hands instead, that’d be awesome. Scary but super helpful.

But some things you can automate, like financial goals. That’s where the investing app Acorns comes in. If you’re like us, you’d like to save more money and improve your personal finance for the New Year. Acorns can be your secret weapon in a world where it sometimes feels impossible to get ahead of all those little expenses that drain our bank accounts.

We’re so grateful that today’s episode is sponsored by Acorns! Acorns makes it easy to start automatically saving and investing so your money has a chance to grow for you, your kids, and your retirement. You don’t need to be an expert. Acorns will recommend a diversified portfolio that fits you and your money goals. You don’t need to be rich. Acorns lets you invest with the spare money you’ve got right now. You can start with $5 or even just your spare change.

Take more control of your financial future now. Set up your Acorns account and start investing in just 5 minutes. Acorns gives you small, simple steps to get you and your money on track. Basically, Acorns does the hard part so you can give your money a chance to grow.

At the end of the day, we run a small business, so we know firsthand how hard it can be to figure out money stuff. Plus, we’re not very financially minded. Áine is a history major. Kevin is an English major. We’re not savvy with finances. An app like Acorns is a gamechanger because it allows you to automate so much of this without having to actively think about it.

The Murder of Amanda Blackburn: The Sentencing of Larry Jo Taylor Jr.

The Murder of Amanda Blackburn: The Sentencing of Larry Jo Taylor Jr.

In 2015, a woman named Amanda Blackburn was murdered in Indianapolis, along with her unborn child. Seven years later, Larry Jo Taylor Jr. — the man convicted of pulling the trigger — faced Amanda's loved ones, prosecutors, and a judge in the court room, as he awaited his sentence.NOTE: In the episode we mention that Drew Snyder represented the state at this hearing. We based this on an entry on mycase. We have been reliably informed that Mr. Snyder was in fact not present at the hearing. As soon as we can get confirmation of the identity of the prosecutor at the hearing, we will correct the episode.

A Conversation with Scott Turow

A Conversation with Scott Turow

We have always been fans of Scott Turow. The lawyer and author not only writes enthralling legal thrillers like Presumed Innocent and The Last Trial but he has also done important work in the legal system — including helping getting a wrongful conviction in a rape-murder case overturned.His newest novel, Suspect, came out last month. He joined us to talk about that novel (spoiler alert: it's a terrific read and we highly recommend it), his legal work, police "tightening" cases and the time the tables were turned and Turow found himself in the role of the accused man.Follow the Murder Sheet on social media:FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd 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.
