Criminal Law Department Presents – CAAF Chats Ep 69: United States v. Urieta (C.A.A.F. 2025)

In this episode, we examine for cause challenges to panel members, specifically an implied bias challenge based on comments regarding an accused that retains civilian defense counsel. We discuss the liberal grant mandate and provide takeaways for practitioners during voir dire to assess issues of bias and potentially rehabilitate ambiguous responses.
