Does a juror questionnaire constitute part of the "examination" for purposes of section 232 of the Code of Civil Procedure section 232?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Stasko, A140211 (Cal. App. 2015):

3. "[A] juror questionnaire is part of the 'examination' for purposes of Code of Civil Procedure section 232." (People v. Lewis (2001) 25 Cal.4th 610, 630.)

4. The record contains 1700 pages of jury questionnaires.

5. Stasko does not argue that defense counsel was ineffective in failing to raise peremptory challenges, presumably "[b]ecause the use of peremptory challenges is inherently subjective and intuitive, [and] an appellate record will rarely disclose reversible incompetence in this process." (People v. Montiel (1993) 5 Cal.4th 877, 911.)
