1. ““All right. I guess based upon [C.W.’s] comments, there’s I wanted to clarify tilings. Obviously, this is a serious case and there are serious charges, here. As the defendants sit here, they are presumed to be innocent. The State has the burden to prove their guilt beyond every reasonable doubt as to the elements with which they are charged. It is also their right to have a jury trial, and that is why all of you have been summoned in here to come down here and go through this process. That’s why I’ve asked you questions, Miss Lidtke has asked you questions and counsel will ask you questions. “The questionnaires that he referred to are simply in order to try to speed up the process as opposed to questioning each of you individually. These questionnaires are used in every trial that we conduct here in Wyandotte County, they have been used for many years, and it’s the best possible way that we have come up with to expedite the process as much as we possibly can. “I understand that there’s concerns about your names being on there and information, but those questionnaires are not kept by anyone but the Court. They are collected and destroyed. There is nothing that anyone—the attorneys, the defendants, anyone else will have any information regarding anything what is on those questionnaires. But that is the process that we have, that is the process that we use in every jury trial, whether it’s a civil trial or a criminal trial, so with that, Miss Lidtke, let’s move on.””

It’s got my name on it, it’s got where I work on it, it’s got my family, it’s got everything, and if I stand up in court and say hey, they’re guilty, they’re like, hey, that’s number 4, that’s [C.W.]. They know where I work, they know where I live, what if he gets mad? That’s how I look at it.””
