Ex-jurors can be polled in Grissom murder case
The Associated Press
OLATHE — A judge ruled yesterday that attorneys for Richard Grissom Jr. can question former Johnson County jurors to determine whether residents are biased toward Grissom.
But Johnson County District Court Judge William Gray said Grissom's public defenders could not question residents called to jury service between now and Grissom's trial for first-degree murder, which is scheduled to begin Aug. 27.
Grissom, 29, is charged with killing three Johnson County women who disappeared last summer.
Deputy Public Defender Andrew Warren sought the poll of jurors in his effort to move the trial from Johnson County. He questioned whether an impartial jury could be found for the trial.
Allan Cigler, KU associate professor of political science, said Warren contacted him a few weeks ago about helping with the poll, but Cigler said
ne hadn't heard from Warren since then.
"I'm surprised he hasn't called me," he said.
Cigler has asked Tom Beisecker, associate professor of communication studies, to help him if he does question the former jurors.
"I believe they would have a more serious view of judicial proceedings." he said.
Gray said that he saw advantages in questioning people who already had served on juries or those who were called to serve but were not used on jury panels.
Neither Warren nor District Attorney Paul Morrison would comment after the hearing. Both said they would move their motions during the next few weeks.
A hearing to determine whether the trial will be moved has been scheduled for June 11 and 12.
