“A criminal defendant is guaranteed the right to a trial by an impartial jury by Article I, Section 7 of the Wisconsin Constitution 3 and the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution, 4 as well as principles of due process. Prospective jurors are presumed impartial, and the challenger to that presumption bears the burden of proving bias. Bias may be either implied as a matter of law or actual in fact. Even the appearance of bias should be avoided. The question of whether a prospective juror is biased and should be dismissed from the jury panel for cause is a matter of the circuit court's discretion. State v. Louis, 156 Wis. 2d 470, 478 , 457 N.W.2d 484 (1990) (citations omitted).”
