Thepetition of the day is:

Issues:(1) Whether, underMcDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood, a valid basis for a challenge for cause requires a showing that a correct response would have subjected the juror to mandatory or per se disqualification, or whether it requires a showing that a hypothetical reasonable judge would have granted a motion to dismiss the juror for cause; (2) whether theMcDonoughtest applies only in cases of deliberate dishonesty by the juror or whether it applies also in cases of misleading omissions; and (3) whether a trial judge’s involvement as a witness in a police investigation before and during trial, and his failure to even disclose it, creates an unconstitutional potential for bias underWilliams v. Pennsylvania.
