The following excerpt is from People v. Figueroa, B247795 (Cal. App. 2015):
Appellant's suggestion that the court's 20-minute limitation on counsel's general voir dire prevented the defense from eliciting juror bias is speculative. There is no indication that defense counsel intended to ask any further questions when he was interrupted, or that the court prevented him from thoroughly questioning jurors whose answers showed potential bias. We cannot say that the eight-day jury selection process was so rushed or inadequate as to result in a trial that was fundamentally unfair. (See People v. Bolden (2002) 29 Cal.4th 515, 538.)
