“The only question in this case, Mr. Black, is whether or not you can give defendant a fair trial. Is there any reason why you cannot hear the evidence in the case and go by the instructions of the Court in deciding whether or not this defendant is guilty of the crime charged? ... Is there any reason why you cannot give this defendant a fair and impartial trial under the evidence and the law? JUROR BLACK: I don’t think so.”

With such doubt present, the trial court should have excused him upon defendant’s challenge for cause; the failure to do so constitutes reversible error.””
