“"THE COURT: Okay, let the record show that Mrs. Turner has informed me that the striking process is completed and that the jury has been selected. Mr. Broome states he has a motion he wishes to be considered before the jury is seated. We are outside the presence of the jury panel. Okay, Mr. Broome? "MR. BROOME [defense counsel]: Judge, we would make a motion that the jury panel that was selected is not, in fact, our panel.
