III. The trial judge shall examine the prospective jurors.

A court shall not arbitrarily or unreasonably refuse to submit reasonable written questions, the contents of which are determined by the court in its sound discretion, when requested by counsel. V. Upon the agreement of all parties, the trial judge may waive voir dire examination by counsel under this section.
