Deputy County Attorney Andrew Paul walked potential jurors in the Markus Kaarma murder trial through a series of questions to help determine which individuals would be accepted by both the prosecution and the defense.

Paul asked the 24 initial members if any had ever been robbed, and as a result, two of the potential jurors were rejected by the prosecution.

Paul also asked jurors about subjects such as whether they support the second amendment, if they owned a firearm, and if they would follow the law as written, even though they might disagree with it, and want it to be changed, what is commonly called jury nullification.

He also asked about under what conditions they would employ deadly force, and if they would use it to protect their property.

Jury selection continues until a panel of 12 men and woman can be agreed to by both sides.

Kaarma sat expressionless at the defense table while Paul quizzed the jurors. He has been charged with deliberate homicide in the shooting death of German exchange student Diren Dede.
