18 was a very close friend of one of the two employees? Why? Both of the techniques discussed above are premised on the venireperson's life experiences and historical conduct. Voir dire of this type relies upon the probe words, such as who, what, where, when, why and how? These techniques rely upon open-ended questions and careful listening. Often an imperative or command question is necessary to insure that the venireperson will answer the question in detail. Imperative questions direct the venireperson to provide the requested data. Examples of imperative questions include: Tell me what you would do if your son refused to talk to you about whether he broke the windows in the vacant house? Tell me the three major reasons you would believe the police officer over your employee? In the final analysis the "everyday" analogue or the "life experience" example as a mode of voir dire questioning is extremely valuable since it tends to disguise the legal and factual issues of the case and transform them into the issues of everyday life which the venirepersons have already lived and decided.
