influence in your decision making process today.
MR. X:
|
It was just a lot of what we
|
are discussing right here.
MR. TYSON:
|
Would you like to approach and
|
we can talk to the Judge in private at the bench so we
can get some more information on that? Could you
approach?
THE COURT:
|
Why don’t you come forward,
|
Mr. X?
(Whereupon, a bench conference was held
out of the hearing of the rest of the jury panel.)
THE COURT:
|
Is everybody ready? Mr. X
|
we just asked you to come forward because I think the
parties would like to know a little bit more about it,
and we would like to respect your privacy as much as
possible. So I am going to let either side ask you some
questions, okay?
THE COURT:
|
And understand that this is
|
all on the record, but you need to respond to the
questions as best you can.
MR. TYSON:
|
Could you please express the
|
concerns about being fair and impartial and prior
background that may influence that?
