Does voir dire need to be conducted in a different way than the standard procedure used by a jury in a similar case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Maldonado, C053275 (Cal. App. 2/15/2008), C053275 (Cal. App. 2008):
In any event, the trial court's exercise of discretion in the manner in which voir dire is conducted is not cause for reversal of a conviction unless it has resulted in a miscarriage of justice. (Code Civ. Proc., 223.) Even highly inflammatory comments by prospective jurors do not necessarily require the drastic remedy of excusing the entire panel. (People v. Medina (1990) 51 Cal.3d 870, 889 (Medina).)
