Questions presented
-
Does the qualified right of access to voir dire under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, recognized in Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court, 464 U.S. 501 (1984) (“Press-Enterprise I”), include the right to hear potential juror names during voir dire?
-
If the qualified First Amendment right of access to voir dire recognized in Press-Enterprise I does not include the right to hear potential juror names during voir dire, did the Arizona Supreme Court misapply the logic prong of the test articulated in Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court, 478 U.S. 1
-
(“Press-Enterprise II”) when it held that there is also no presumptive right to hear juror names during voir dire under that test?
