It contained nearly 110 questions, and Brandborg thought that 14 of them were too personal. The contested questions dealt with her religion, income, political orientation, automobile, and favorite television programs.

Re: CHL Question during Jury Selection
I've been summoned for jury duty at the county level several times, but never get past the initial questionnaire. I suspect that I'm exactly what most defendants DON'T want on their jury unless its at the Federal level where crimes tend to be quite technical and the defense equally so.
