Jury Selection in Alaska

Defendant Joseph Bruno, who is also an New York State senate Republican leader has been accused of using his position to collect more than $3 million in commissions. Also, he is being accused of giving gifts in return for using his influence to benefit the labor unions and private businessmen. With this jury selection, none of the jurors were challenged for cause or preemptory challenges. The prosecution would want a jury that is against bribing. Since he is being accused of giving others gifts. The defense would probably want a jury that has very high political views and would definitely be on Joseph Bruno's defense on his actions. Meaning, the would possibly see nothing wrong with what he did.
