In reality, it is whoever makes it through several rounds of questions regarding morality and even the death penalty and whether or not the lawyers believe the juror could be sympathetic to their side.

Though my father told me once where he and 20-something other 40+ year old white men were in a room waiting for the jury selection to begin, they were the only ones in that room since they were all ones that had delayed their jury selection by several days for work or personal reasons.

Over 20 minutes, several young offenders were walked by a window that looked into the waiting room.

Most took plea bargains, 1 went for trial by judge.
