    An unfavorable view is still bias. The defense would reject any juror that shows significant malice towards the plaintiff.

      The defense can try to reject any juror that shows significant malice. Oftentimes both sides only have so many that they can strike from the potential juror pool unless the judge agrees there is enough bias to sway someone.

      …and since this entire thread started because the judge is married to a previous executive of a healthcare* company, well, good luck Luigi defense.
