What are some reasons a potential juror can be excused for cause?
What will be an ideal response?
A juror can be excused from jury duty if he/she can show that serving on the jury would create an undue burden. However, judges are tending to become more strict on what excuses may be acceptable.
A juror may be excluded for cause if either the prosecution or the defense can claim that the juror may not be able to render a fair and unbiased decision. A juror may also be excluded for no given reason as part of the number of allowable peremptory challenges.
