Question Presented (from Petition)

Where the trial court engages in tainting a jury (especially during voir dire) making it clearly pro-defense by punishing pro-plaintiff potential jurors and impanelling pro-defense potential jurors, also creates a non-diverse jury (all white and all women), and removes the only black member of the jury, does this violate Mr. White's guarateed right to a fair trial and and an impartial jury under the Due Process Clauses of the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the trial court's actions in tainting the jury violate the defendant's right to a fair trial and an impartial jury?
