Best Answer

The number peremptory challenges that are given to attorneys is based on the type of murder trial it is. If it is a capital case, or the prosecution is seeking the death penalty, a total of twenty peremptory challenges is given. In all other cases associated with causing the death of another, either by murder or manslaughter, the government is allowed six peremptory challenges while the defense is allowed ten.
