Heading: Ruby Moschler

Text: Ruby Moschler stated she learned from media reports that Mueller had been arrested for the murder of Charity Powers. However, she did not remember anything else about Mueller and she said that she had formed no opinion regarding his guilt or innocence. Moschler further stated that, while she did not already feel that Mueller was guilty, she was relieved that he ha[d] been arrested. Upon questioning by Mueller's counsel, Moschler responded that she would weigh the evidence presented in the courtroom to determine which penalty to impose, that she would consider both penalties, and that she had no fixed opinion regarding Mueller's guilt. In our review of the whole voir dire testimony of each of these nine prospective jurors, we find no indication that each could not lay aside [his or her] impressions or opinions and render a verdict based on the evidence presented in court. Pope, 234 Va. at 124, 360 S.E.2d at 358. Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court's refusal to strike each of them for cause. Id.
