Five potential Patel jurors quizzed again Five potential jurors are being questioned further about possible bias against Jayant Patel. FIVE potential jurors are being questioned further about possible bias against former Bundaberg surgeon Jayant Patel, on the first day of his manslaughter trial. Patel has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of Mervyn Morris, 75, in June 2003. As part of a lengthy selection process on Wednesday, 12 jurors and three reserve jurors were given a questionnaire in the Supreme Court of Brisbane to determine if they could be impartial. The questions were about pre-trial publicity and prior knowledge of the allegations against Patel, as well as the jurors' ability to judge the case only on the evidence placed before them during the trial. After reviewing their answers, defence barrister Ken Fleming wanted to question five of the potential jurors further to clarify their answers. Patel's trial has been set down for two weeks.
