What is the test for establishing a jury's impartiality?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Calix, 18-1991-cr (2nd Cir. 2019):
"There are few aspects of a jury trial where we would be less inclined to disturb a trial judge's exercise of discretion, absent clear abuse," than in "empaneling of a jury." United States v. Ploof, 464 F.2d 116, 118-19 n.4 (2d Cir. 1972). Thus, a "trial court's findings of juror impartiality may be overturned only for manifest error." Skilling v. United States, 561 U.S. 358, 396 (2010) (internal quotation marks omitted).
