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?

A Night Out at Vitello’s: Robert Blake and the Murder of Bonnie Lee Bakley

A Night Out at Vitello’s: Robert Blake and the Murder of Bonnie Lee Bakley

On the evening of May 4, 2001, actor Robert Blake took his new bride Bonnie Lee Bakley out to dine at Vitello's, a restaurant in Los Angeles' Studio City. On the surface, it looked like the pair shared a romantic evening. But by the end of the night, Bakley would be dead. The scandalous, chilling details that would come out about the marriage between the star-chaser and the washed-up celebrity would prove to be tabloid fodder. But no one could guess the outcome of two trials that sought to hold Blake accountable for Bakley's murder — that proved to be a twist ending worthy of a Hollywood thriller.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.

The Delphi Murders: An Interview with Carroll County Sheriff Candidate Mike Thomas

There's ’s a new Sheriff in town– or at least there will be soon. Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby– who has been running the investigation into the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams cannot run for the office again because of term limit restrictions. At the moment, no one has filed for the Democratic nomination and three men have filed for the Republican nomination– Mike Thomas, Tony Liggett and Lee Hoard. It is inevitable that the way the Delphi murder investigation has been handled or mishandled will become an issue in this race. And– of course– the man who wins the election will end up having a tremendous impact on the future of the case. Anyone who cares about getting justice for Libby and Abby really needs to follow this campaign.Considering that, we decided to reach out to candidate Mike Thomas. He gave us his thoughts on what’s been done in the investigation– and what he would do differently if he became the man in charge.This episode takes a break from our focus on restaurant homicides, and is part of our intermittent series of episodes on the Delphi case.

The Donut Shop Killers: The Fallout

The Donut Shop Killers: The Fallout

When we covered the Donut Shop murders last year, we didn't get into one particularly disturbing element of the case. When Sherman McCrary and Carl Taylor embarked on their violent, cross-country rampage, they didn't just have their wives in tow. They brought along Ginger McCrary-Taylor's young sons as well. This week, we present the conclusion of our talk with Jerry Nations, one of those sons. Jerry shares the story of what it was like to reunite with Ginger as an adult — and will reveal the surprising truth of what she did for a living. .Thanks again to Jerry Nations for being so open and generous with his time.
