Winning a jury bias argument typically involves demonstrating that the jury selection process was flawed in a way that unfairly prejudiced the jury against the defendant. Here are some factors that defense lawyers might consider and try to establish to win a jury bias argument:

Prejudicial Statements or Behavior: If potential jurors made prejudicial statements during voir dire (the process of jury selection) or exhibited behavior indicating bias, the defense attorney could argue that these jurors should have been dismissed for cause but were not.
Media Exposure: If there was extensive media coverage of the case that may have biased the jury, the defense attorney might argue that the jurors were unable to set aside preconceived notions and render an impartial verdict.
Improper Questioning by Prosecution: If the prosecution's questioning during voir dire was leading or unfairly suggestive, the defense attorney could argue that this influenced the jury pool's perception and led to bias against the defendant.
Exclusion of Potentially Favorable Jurors: If the judge excluded potential jurors who might have been sympathetic to the defense or who had relevant life experiences that could have helped them better understand the case, the defense attorney might argue that this biased the jury against the defendant.
Inadequate Voir Dire Examination: If the defense attorney believes that the voir dire examination of potential jurors was inadequate and failed to uncover biases or prejudices, they could argue that this resulted in an unfair jury.
Pattern of Exclusions: If there's evidence to suggest a pattern of excluding certain demographic groups or individuals with particular characteristics from the jury, the defense attorney might argue that this systematic exclusion led to a biased jury.
Judicial Error: If the judge made errors during jury selection or failed to adequately address concerns raised by the defense about potential biases, the defense attorney could argue that these judicial errors resulted in a biased jury.
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: In extreme cases where the defense attorney's performance during jury selection was deficient and resulted in a biased jury, the defendant might argue that they did not receive effective assistance of counsel, which violated their constitutional rights.

To win a jury bias argument, the defense attorney would need to present evidence and arguments demonstrating one or more of these factors and persuade the judge that the defendant's right to a fair trial was compromised.

Anne Taylor, the lawyer for Bryan Kohberger, continues to try to pull a rabbit out of her hat for her client by attacking the processs itself and looking for any loophole or technicality that might help Kohberger skate.

Unfortunately for Kohberger, all of those attempts have been slapped back by the court.

In this episode, we take a look at the newest claim made by Anne Taylor and this time it has to do with jury bias.
