La. C.Cr.P. § 800: Objection to ruling on challenge for cause
What this law says, in plain English
A defendant must object immediately when a judge denies a challenge for cause, stating the grounds. The state's improper challenge for cause is only reversible error if it causes the state to use more peremptory challenges than allowed.
