Massachusetts OUI Jury Selection
The process of jury selection, or voir dire in a Massachusetts OUI
case can be an important part of a successful outcome in an OUI jury trial. However,
in Massachusetts district courts, the attorneys do not have very strong control
over the jury pool. For example, we are not allowed to question the jurors
directly in the selection process. But there are a few important techniques to
determining a jury that will fairly and objectively weigh the evidence in a
Massachusetts OUI case.
Before a trial, the court officer hands me a list of juror
sheets, which gives jurors names, occupation, marital status, whether or not
they have children, and a few other details. I also submit a list of questions
for the judge to ask all the jurors, and some of those jurors come up to the
judges bench and explain there answers to the questions. I then select jurors
that I think are appropriate for the specific facts of the case.
When I take a Massachusetts OUI / drunk driving case to trial, I beat the case more than two thirds of the time.
Of course I can't guarantee any result, and, every case is different, but as I
said, for most people a trial is the best way to get a fair outcome.
