But I think once the defense and the government start asking their questions in the next round, that's when we really start to see who's going to end up on this jury. We as attorneys have this very finite way of speaking about things that is not the way that the average person talks about. We as attorneys don't use things like, I can do it.

There are some great judges in Brooklyn Criminal and Supreme Court, and they ask this question to kind of get people off that fence. And they say, if you got onto an airplane, And the captain of the airplane said, hello passengers, I'm your pilot for the day. I think I can land this plane pretty safely.

And 10 out of 10 people say, I'm getting off. Because it's not a matter of whether he can land that plane properly. It's a matter of if he will. And so I think right now when we're trying to look at who the potential jurors are, you're getting a lot of can't, maybe, stuff like that.
