Description
At the commencement of the selection proceedings, the trial court announced that each side would receive 30 minutes to conduct its voir dire examination of the jury panel. The court proceeded to instruct the panel on general principles of law affecting criminal cases, after which the prosecutor conducted his examination. Counsel for appellant then commenced his interrogation. He spoke to the panel for 21 minutes on general principles of law applicable to the case and only then began to ask questions of the jury panel. When the court informed him that his 30 minutes had elapsed, counsel objected and, outside the presence of the jury, introduced into evidence Exhibit B, "a computation of questions I have prepared over the years for voir dire examination," and proposed to ask "each and every juror each and every question," except where repetitious. The exhibit consisted of 26 legal size pages, single-spaced and typewritten, containing unedited, repetitious questions and comments covering general principles of criminal law, but also including material on robbery, child witnesses and other areas clearly not applicable to the case at bar. His requests to continue the voir dire and to question, for the record, those members of the panel he had not had an opportunity to examine individually were both denied.
