The document is a legal motion filed in a circuit court requesting additional peremptory challenges for the defense in a capital case. It argues that the right to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed by various amendments to the U.S. Constitution, necessitates these additional challenges due to issues such as juror bias regarding the death penalty, improper exclusion of jurors based on race, and the impact of pre-trial publicity. The motion cites legal precedents and standards from the American Bar Association to support its request for at least eight additional peremptory challenges.

What is a peremptory motion?

A judge issues a peremptory order for a defendant to appear in court on a specific date, with no option for rescheduling. During a trial, an attorney uses a peremptory challenge to dismiss a juror without providing a reason (hypothetical example).

What does peremptory mean in court?

Peremptory challenges are used by lawyers to exclude those jurors who the judge has determined that pass for cause (meaning that nothing has been said by the juror that would prevent him or her from being fair and impartial to either side). Usually, each side has the same number of peremptory challenges.
