      Its a process during jury selection, where each side gets a number of “freebies” where they can eliminate a potential juror for no reason at all. There are also legitimate reasons to bump one, as determined by questioning, but it has to be kinda proven… And it’s usually an easy sell to call for “bias” as the reason.
