Broad discretion is afforded trial courts during voir dire inquiry.
In their argument, Appellants set out certain preliminary remarks made by the trial judge prior to voir dire, out of the hearing of the jury, which they contend unduly restricted their right to make informed and intelligent choices in utilizing their challenges for cause and their preemptive strikes. These remarks generally related to those types of personal questions the trial judge felt were inappropriate questions to be propounded to the venire panel. Additionally, the trial judge indicated that the petit jury was to be selected by noon of the day of trial. Here, Appellants have not set out for our review those specific questions which they intended to pose to the venire panel and which the trial judge prevented them from propounding. Therefore, we are prevented from addressing any allegation of error arising from the trial court's failure to allow these purported questions to have been posed to the venire panel.
