these were the questions:
Quote:
Mitchell said he answered "no" to two questions in the juror questionnaire sent out before jury selection that asked about participation in demonstrations.
The first question asked, "Did you, or someone close to you, participate in any of the demonstrations or marches against police brutality that took place in Minneapolis after George Floyd's death?"
The second asked, "Other than what you have already described above, have you, or anyone close to you, participated in protests about police use of force or police brutality?"

The question is whether he should have simply disclosed his participation in the MLK march in DC, especially in light of Floyd's brother and sister addressing the crowd about introducing new legislation on the police use of force.
Its not up to him to determine bias; jurors are required to disclose and let the attorneys and jurist decide if that is grounds for dismissal from jury duty
Chauvin deserves to rot in solitary and I don't want him to get off because of some technicality that should have been obviously disclosed.
