95 P.3d 282 (2004)

2004 UT App 210

STATE of Utah, Plaintiff and Appellee, v. Gordon R. KING, Defendant and Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Utah.

June 24, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elizabeth Hunt, Salt Lake City, for Appellant.

Mark L. Shurtleff, Atty. Gen., and Jeffrey S. Gray, Asst. Atty. Gen., Salt Lake City, for Appellee.

Before BILLINGS, P.J., JACKSON and ORME, JJ.


OPINION

ORME, Judge:

¶ 1 Gordon R. King appeals his conviction of attempted forcible sexual abuse of a child in violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-5-404 (1999).1 Because we hold that the trial court failed to fully satisfy its responsibility to detect, probe, and eliminate juror bias during the jury selection process, we reverse King's conviction and remand for a new trial.
