issue I should err on the side of caution, and I have, I
will, and I did. Go on.

MR. TYSON: Judge, number eighteen, Mr.
X, he has already from the start he says that he
might not be able to fair and impartial. He said that he
has heard of facts of the case. He has already made up
his mind, he believes the Defendant was baited.

THE COURT: Any issue there?

MR. DENIS DE VLAMING: We like him.

THE COURT: He’s gone. Who is next?

MR. TYSON: Judge, the only one I have
concern about is number nineteen, Mr. X. I still
don’t think we are really clear about what his concerns
are about the trial, and his prior experiences. I’m not
sure Mr. de Vlaming --

MR. DENIS DE VLAMING: I don’t want him
challenged for cause. I agree with you that it was a
little bit nebulous, but he had some concern over when he
was an MP dealing with domestic matters, and when
husbands go after wives, and children. When I indicated
that this case had nothing to do with children or spousal
problem and asked if he could be fair, he indicated yes.
I don’t think he is for cause.

MR. TYSON: I don’t have any strong

reasons other than his uncertainty, Judge.
