We are called upon in this case to determine whether the failure to administer the oath to the trial jury until the conclusion of the People's case requires a reversal of the defendant's conviction. We now answer that question in the negative and hold that in the absence of prejudice, a delay in swearing in the jury will not warrant reversal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of conviction.
