At about 47:00 the defense attorney mentions several jurors that worked for or with himself, yet in the beginning the jury was asked if they knew any of the people associated with the case and they said "no".
Jurors are not always forthcoming. I’ve done jury selection in a very small town and they do not come forward with relationships. That’s why probing questions and individual questions are important. I’ve had cousins not admit relationship because they “weren’t close.”
@@papihuey A peremptory challenge is when one side gets to say "I don't want that juror" and does NOT have to give a reason -- which is okay, UNLESS the judge suspects there is a bad reason like racism or sexism (like if a lawyer only asked for black people to be removed). Each side has a LIMIT to how many peremptory challenges they have. / The opposite, for cause, means, for example, that the juror is too old OR not fair OR not able to be fair OR not able to be a juror for some other SPECIFIED reason.
Did you catch what the Defense Attorney said at 43:51 ? This is not yet a trial, yet he is already stacking the deck in his favor. He is describing why his client acted in self defense before the trial has started. He has already putting a thought into the jury's mindset.
This was very helpful for me to understand Voir dire better for my v Class, and helped put me to bed as well. I will say, good acting. I thought it was real at first then started hearing the names.
I stumbled upon this accidentally, but upon doing so I got tied up doing a few other things so it ended up playing for a bit in the background. Now, I don’t have any reason to comment here other than for the pure appreciation I have for the group that made this video in such a realistic manner and for the individuals (actors) that did such a fantastic job portraying their particular roles within this video. So, with that said, I wanted to commend everyone that was involved in making this video for their efforts that went into it. This was perhaps the best example of taking a mock situation and presenting it in a manner that didn’t seem “Hollywood” or “amateur”, but authentic and real (barring the naming of the plaintiff and the defendant, as well as, the subsequently named key witnesses and associates of course. However, given the facetiousness of the names used in this mock scenario, one must give props to the absolute professionalism displayed by all of the actors involved in this production because this so easily could’ve lost its effectiveness if any of them were to crack up at the hilarity of the fake names used. If they would’ve succumb to this and broke character, even for the slightest second, this wouldn’t have been the very real representation that this is.) Now then, I know that this is a rather long comment that no one will really care to read and I know that my opinion doesn’t matter much here, but that’s neither here or their and therefore isn’t the intent of my comment anyhow. That comment is meant for those individuals that made this and it is to express my appreciation for their efforts. Although this not something I needed education on nor is it anything that applies to anything I do for a living or that really appeals to my interests, the fact is that this is a very important event within the legal process. For that point, it is quite evident that the education that this video provides, by way of its superb accuracy in depicting all aspects of this Voir dire process, will assist countless people, albeit attorneys, judges, law enforcement, legal or judicial professionals of any kind or citizens that may be summoned to participate in this process, and that assistance will be paramount in the assurance that such a process will run smoothly and efficiently in the future if this video is properly provided to any of those individuals mentioned that may be unfamiliar with what to expect in this kind of situation the education they may need. Eliminating any hiccups or factors that may slowdown this process is, in my opinion, is extremely important because time is money and that means tax payer’s money...in other words, the faster that this process can be carried out, the better. And, I think everyone can agree that freeing up more funds to be adequately allotted to other things that it could be more necessarily appropriated to is, without a doubt, always a good thing! So once again, AWESOME JOB 👏🏻 to everyone that created this educational video. You’re work will be greatly appreciated by citizens across the nation, IF THIS VIDEO IS CIRCULATED APPROPRIATELY OF COURSE, whether or not citizens that never have to be a part of this process know ever know about this video or not. For that, I thank you and I say that on behalf of all Americans, for your time and efforts for that went into making this. Now...if you can only make an educational video detailing the events that were involved in the Mueller investigation. Lord knows that would save tax payers a fortune and, even more so, it would eliminate a plethora of headaches that far too often become unnecessarily abound when proper legal procedures are hijacked and turned into circus proceedings that are filled with nothing more than nonsensical garbage at the behest of corrupt agendas, albeit personal, political or otherwise!

Jury Nullification is a legal concept attorneys and judges don't want you to know about as a juror. Regardless of what the jury instructions are, you can still find a "not guilty" verdict in lieu of a hung jury/mistrial.
@@Jblog100 It depends on the circumstances. If the law is unjust, nullify it. For example - If it's Darrell Brooks, with his 76 charges of assault - murder, who practically begged the jury to nullify - forget it, I'm returning a guilty verdict. If it's one of these _abortion is murder_ states - I don't care if they have iron-clad indisputable proof, I'm returning not guilty.
@@VioletWings1353You’re the one who doesn’t understand what an impartial jury is The commentor was saying that they took issue with the LAW, not the crime or alleged criminal
Wow. That's some lame voir dire. Both of these lawyers present excellent examples of how to get jurors to reveal absolutely nothing about their biases.
They could have used the Simpson's. That would have been something, Even the Flintstones. Barney Rubble, got hit upside the head Fron Wilma, because Betty, dyed wilmas hair brunette, and bought her an outfit that matches hers, to in order to see if they look like twin Sisters. So Barney sneaks up behind Wilma, and pinches her butt. Wilma finds out it's not Fred, her Husband, and Barney gets the skillet upside his head. Wilma being Oblivious at the moment, that she looks like Betty😅🤣
Well put-together demonstration of voir dire, though I was also kind of hoping that the overall group of jurors would be a little bit less "perfect". I still salute your video, though! :)
For the people that got excused to leave at the end around @1:10:46 the judge mentions to call before Thursday. Is that so they can be part of another trial questionnaire? Or just to be informed they don't need to come back? Like until the next time they are called for jury duty?
Some places do juries in “terms” that can last certain amounts of time. That means that when you are called to serve for a term, you’re in the pool for every case during that term. They can call you in for as many or as little cases as they want to. Most courthouses have electronic messaging systems now that notify you of when to report, but it used to be that you had to call the courthouse yourself to find out when you should report again.
Just the idea that twelve people almost completely ignorant of legal proceedings can hold in their hands the fate of an individual leaves me speechless !! Only in America!!!!! The rest of the world leaves laws and trials and judgements in the hands of competent professionals TRAINED IN THAT SPECIFIC FIELD !!!
@@maverick4220 that’s the English “ common law” system versus the Diritto Romano , on which are based most if not all western countries’ judicial systems .
@@itadrummer1 The idea that one person, employed by the government, gets to decide the fate of an individual accused by the government, is absurd and ripe for abuse. In American courtrooms the judge sits at the front of the room on an elevated platform, and the prosecution and the defense sit next to each other, literally at the same level, both in equal positions in relation to the judge. In Dutch courtrooms the prosecutor and the judge sit besides each other at the front of the room on an elevated platform, both looking down at the defendant. It is not possible to be a 'competent professional' at deciding which evidence is trustworthy and how long someone should be locked in a cage for. Experienced and trained, sure, but that's not as good a thing as you seem to think it is.
I was onboard with this Skit/Example, until the defense attorney revealed that 3 jurors either work or worked for him. Those are impossible odds. And only two jurors struck, one who didn’t want to view evidence and the other who didn’t have child care.
I would rather have the Roman Law code than the Anglo-Saxon Common Law! The idea alone of twelve people, more than likely completely ignorant of the most basic notions of jurisprudence, having the right AND the power to decide over one’s life just terrifies me !!!

I watched the entire video and was a little disappointed. I was half expecting the procedure to start out with the Judge asking specific questions to specific perspective jurors. Questions like where do you work, what you like to do with leisure time, hobbies, travel experiences, etc., as well as some legal questions. And then the attorneys would also move right down the line asking various questions. That was my experience when I went through voir dire. That didn't happen at all here. It's been a long time since I've been called so maybe it's different now. Maybe the juror questionnaire covers all that now. I don't really remember filling one out.
+MR B if you watch the whole thing the crime is committed by Kosmo Kramer against Jerry Seinfeld lol i guess its just place holder names to make it a little less droll and maybe "protect" identity

Kind of like a team captain. The court clerks will need to communicate with the jury as a whole. People that want to be the foreman are a bit like the teacher's pet. Careful with an overzealous foreman. Hung juries are definitely not wins.
Hmmm, I like the way in which this court is organized. Wow defensive murder is a super heavy one. Must consider all evidence, plaintiffs character, history, circumstances leading up to this and so much more. Peoples lives are on the line. I Mean defensive murder how? Who attacked or presented imminent threat to life first? Why? So much that you got to consider here.
A white male Judge.....that's getting more rare in our Leftist Judicial system The AGs in Chicago and southern poverty of NY have lost any public trust by dropping Smollett case and spending over a year trying to get thee Presidents tax returns when he gets audited q year. Reo Nadler or Rep Schiff would be notified if there was a problem. I wonder if the Floyd George can get an unbias jury.?
Problem with that female juror at 1:15:12 - convictions are not on - "walks like a duck quacks like a duck it's [probably] a duck"., like to see attorneys voir dire of that juror.
They can kick you off with preumptory strikes and not need a reason for cause to do it. If you give the impression that your interests will conflict with your ability to remain unbiased, then you will likely be dismissed from the jury.
OMG, I stumbled upon this video because I just received a jury summons, so I thought this video was real until I heard that the defendant was Kosmo Kramer and the victim, Jerry Seinfeld. 😄
Yes,it is real. Sadly Kramer was convincted of murdering Jerry two years ago. His motivation was that he had fallen on hard financial times and Seinfeld refused to do reunion shows.
Can you hold your convictions the answer to that for me would be no I would go with the crowd because I do not trust myself to make the right decision that you are forcing me to make I have so many issues when it comes to understanding what's going on in the world so I'll probably got something wrong and do not trust the outcome that's when I'll be dismissed after an hour an hour of my life gone
+Jerome Loch My sister lives in Arkansas and she thinks these jokes are funny. So do I. Thanks for the humor! By the way, the toothbrush WAS invented in Arkansas. Really. LOL
Since when is voir dire the conduct a class in basics of criminal procedure? I thought it was a matter of SELECTING A JURY not teaching the jury all about the evidence code and so forth. Seems very much not at all like real voir dire.
"...so help you god." ??????? me german, i dont have any bloody clue of us law- system/s or whatsoever at all! i am atheist. neither is there a god whom i can ask me to help for, nor are there any holy scriptures availible for me, to swear on. question: does it even matter? or am i, as an atheist, not qualified for jury duty anyways??? just askin ♥
I know this is a late af response but I am also an atheist! I was recently called for jury duty and when we were sworn in, they didn’t include god in the oath, which I appreciated. It was something along the lines of “do you swear under penalty of perjury that you will tell the truth to the best of your knowledge” with a response of “I do.”
This is a genuine cinematic masterpiece. It's insane how real it feels.
I thought this was real until they said Jerry Sinfeild.
except that the prosecutor said the defendent was in his 70s LOL he looks like in his 40s
I have to do a mock voir dire in my class today and this was extremely helpful, thank you so much

This is a mock jury selection So that may have been deliberate to show help more probing questions will reveal potential conflicts.
Jurors are not always forthcoming. I’ve done jury selection in a very small town and they do not come forward with relationships. That’s why probing questions and individual questions are important. I’ve had cousins not admit relationship because they “weren’t close.”
A rough breakdown for future viewers:
29:50 strike for cause
32:20 objection
1:00:00 strike for cause
1:00:34 peremptories strikes

Yes,it is real. Sadly Kramer was convincted of murdering Jerry two years ago. His motivation was that he had fallen on hard financial times and Seinfeld refused to do reunion shows.
Weren't you listening? Kramer was tired of Jerry selling crack in his neighborhood
LOL
This is a mock deal here.
For real though
Damn dude, Kramer did Jerry so wrong.
He had it coming!
I was in a hospital and I thought that I was in jail
Cute judge. The questions that were asked by the People are generally asked by the court and then the judge will hand over the veneer to the attys.
Can you hold your convictions the answer to that for me would be no I would go with the crowd because I do not trust myself to make the right decision that you are forcing me to make I have so many issues when it comes to understanding what's going on in the world so I'll probably got something wrong and do not trust the outcome that's when I'll be dismissed after an hour an hour of my life gone
Do all people from Arkansas have that speech impediment?
+Frapzoid It is not a speech impediment. It is a dialect.
+Jerome Loch My sister lives in Arkansas and she thinks these jokes are funny. So do I. Thanks for the humor! By the way, the toothbrush WAS invented in Arkansas. Really. LOL

Since when is voir dire the conduct a class in basics of criminal procedure? I thought it was a matter of SELECTING A JURY not teaching the jury all about the evidence code and so forth. Seems very much not at all like real voir dire.
47:25 the judge is very amused 😆😆
I would just tell them, i am a born again Christian and only God judges, i refuse to judge anyone.
lol, how is that lawyer knows half of the jury?
This is probably some small town and he's probably related to half of them.
Holy shit this looks so real!!
It is real right?
@@joylitz2477 This is a mock jury selection
Ms Hill played the mommy card
Well done. Except real voir dire is never this, uh, thrilling.
Cosmo Kramer killed Jerry Seinfeld? Did I hear that right?
He pounded Jerry down through the linoleum into the cellar like he was a flooring nail, and Kramer’s fist was a pneumatic hammer.
"...so help you god." ???????
me german, i dont have any bloody clue of us law- system/s or whatsoever at all!
i am atheist. neither is there a god whom i can ask me to help for, nor are there any holy scriptures availible for me, to swear on.
question: does it even matter? or am i, as an atheist, not qualified for jury duty anyways???
just askin ♥
I know this is a late af response but I am also an atheist! I was recently called for jury duty and when we were sworn in, they didn’t include god in the oath, which I appreciated. It was something along the lines of “do you swear under penalty of perjury that you will tell the truth to the best of your knowledge” with a response of “I do.”
