Jane Doe v. Shirlene Hafen

HELD. - The trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to ask wide-ranging voir dire questions. General objection to failure to ask the questions was insufficient to preserve possibly meritorious question for review. Voir dire concerning possible prejudice from "tort reform propaganda" was not warranted. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in permitting the aged widow of defendant to sit at the counsel table and assist in voir dire. Evidence of Does miscarriage and voluntary sterilization were properly admitted in relation to her mental symptoms.
