Attorneys have begun individual questioning with the last batch of 29 jurors.
First up is No. 161, a well-spoken former bank chairman currently undergoing treatment for cancer; she has an MBA and has given depositions in court.
Judge Zagel is questioning her about her volunteer work with the Chicago Network and the Commercial Club of Chicago and her political affiliations -- she gives money to politicians and worked on President Barack Obama's campaign.
The juror stated in her questionnaire that she would try to be impartial, but "I have a lifetime of experience that gives me great trust in my opinions about people."
She gave an example from her corporate life of having to give business loans to people when she had a feeling something "wasn't quite right."
"I don't think I can divorce myself from my gut feelings, though I would try very hard to do so," she said.
