If you are asked a question that you would rather answer in private, or if there is anything you would like to explain to the attorneys in private, please do not hesitate to indicate that you would prefer privacy. Some of you will be excused from this panel as a result of your answers to these general questions. If you are excused, you will return to the jury assembly room where the jury commissioner’s staff will give you further instructions. When jury selection is completed, the trial may proceed immediately or you may be asked to return for the start of the trial on another day. If you are excused from sitting on this case, please don’t take this as a personal comment on you or your ability to be fair. It is often true that a particular juror is not well qualified to sit on a particular case but she or he would be well qualified to sit as a juror on a different case. I want to thank all of you for your patience and cooperation. I will be leaving the room at this point. I will be available to consult with the attorneys at any time to make a decision as to whether or not any particular juror should be excused from sitting on this trial. With that, I will ask [Plaintiff’s Attorney] to make a short statement describing what this case is about from the plaintiff’s point of view.
