Trembly v. State neutral

1934Nevertheless, the calling of talesmen by the judge from those then and there actually present in the courthouse is not so far a departure from the fundamentals of jury selection that it may not be done by the judge upon the request or by the consent of the party, as, for instance, in Trembly v. State, 20 Kan. 116 , and when a party does not then and there object, it is but proper to hold that his nonaction is equivalent to consent — there must be applied the ancient principle that a party who does not object when he should will not be heard later to object when he would.
