So yeah, we see crazy things like that. And I'll follow up on that because there's a difference between what a person says and how they say it. And I think with the defense attorney and even the government, they'll look at how it's said and say, all right, I might not be able to get them out for a cause, but I will definitely take them out for preemptive challenges. If I say, I really like Eric.

Yeah. And I'll share one example as well. I've had jury selection where one prospective juror got up on the witness stand, said that he couldn't trust those people. We went into a private chamber with the judge who was Hispanic, two prosecutors who were white. My co-counsel was white and I'm the only black person. And the prospective juror who was not black kept saying, I can't trust those people.

I kept telling everyone we could just move on guys. Like, you know what he's saying? And ultimately the prospective juror turned and looked at me and he says, I don't trust them. And I'm like, I'm not even on trial. So I don't know what we're doing here. But the person was excused. So yeah, we see crazy things like that.

I want to go out for a beer with him. You're like, I think Brian wants to hang out with Eric. But I would say, I really like Eric. I may want to get a beer with him. Same words, but the way in which it was said, it's clear whether or not Erickson used one of his peremptory challenges to go get a beer with me.

By the way, you're going to see peremptory strikes in action in Diddy's trial today. For cause is when a judge or attorney strikes a prospective juror for bias or because they won't be able to be impartial. A peremptory challenge is when attorneys strike a juror for any reason at all. But importantly, they have a limited amount of strikes.

In this case, the prosecution will get six and the defense has 10. The number of parameter challenges depends on how much potential jail time a defendant is facing. Before we go, we want to catch you up on one other highlight from the courtroom this week.
