360.30 Trial jury; peremptory challenge of an individaul juror.
1. A peremptory challenge is an objection to a prospective juror for
which no reason need be assigned. Upon any peremptory challenge, the
court must exclude the person challenged from service.
2. Each party must be allowed three peremptory challenges. When two or
more defendants are tried jointly, such challenges are not multiplied by
the number of defendants, but such defendants are to be treated as a
single party. In any such case, a peremptory challenge by one or more
defendants must be allowed if a majority of the defendants join in such
challenge, or if there is a tie when there is an even number of
defendants. Otherwise, it must be disallowed.
