“' "In selecting a jury for a particular case, 'the nature, variety, and extent of the questions that should be asked prospective jurors' must be left largely within the sound discretion of the trial court. . . . In other words, the scope of the voir dire examination of the jury venire is within the broad discretion of the trial court.”
