True, but if she knows what she's doing an aggressive lawyer can often figure out ways to get the judge to dismiss jurors for cause. No judge wants the case appealed on the grounds of jury prejudice, so judges will favor striking jurors if there's a realistic chance the lawyer might be able to appeal. I have done it myself -- I get a juror I really don't want but want to save my preemptories, so will explore the juror until I find something sufficient to move the court to strike for cause. I wish the game weren't played that way, but as long as it is, I've got to play that way.
