Judge Plans to Question Jury in Simpson Trial
May 23, 2008
Court officials and lawyers preparing for O.J. Simpson’s armed robbery trial said Thursday that lengthy questionnaires will be given to a jury pool that could number 400 or more.
The judge told prosecutors and lawyers for the former football star and two co-defendants that she plans to summon prospective jurors and have them start filling out forms at least two weeks before trial starts Sept. 8.
Simpson, Charles Ehrlich and Clarence "C.J." Stewart face kidnapping and other charges after allegedly robbing sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room in September.
