William Brennan's opinion in Furman v. Georgia challenges the feasibility of the death penalty based on conclusions about this action reached in Lockhart v. McCree. The state of Illinois was condemned for its guidelines for this process in a 1968 case, which led to one type of this action to be referred to as "witherspooning." The cases Rice v Collins and Miller-El v. Dretke involved a specific type of action taken during this process. Outcomes of this process were found to be consistent in Swain v. Alabama, but that holding was reversed in Batson v. Kentucky, which provided a basis for appeals based solely on events during this process. Controversial analysis was employed by Ramsey Clarke to conduct this process in a 1972 case involving the Harrisburg Seven, and Jeffrey Abramson has condemned figures like Jo-Ellan Demetrius for subverting the legal system by acting as (*) consultants for this process. Excluding subversive goals, "for cause" exemptions during this process are unlimited, and both sides have a limited number of peremptory challenges which can be used at will during this process. Synonymous with the term voir dire in U.S. law, FTP, identify this pre-trial action which involves the selection of a group of registered voters to hear and pass judgment on a given court case.
