Through one portion of jury selection, the defense argued that the prosecution's dismissal of four potential jurors, who were all black men, seemed to be a pattern.
Defense attorney David Nenner said he was informed the defendant is a quarter black and part Mexican.
Half the jurors are minorities, as well as all of the alternates.
One other juror asked the judge to dismiss her because she had an eerie feeling about the defendant when she walked in, to which the judge said, "that's a new one for me."
The defense also told the judge Hupperterz will not contest the abuse of corpse charge, but they motioned to throw out specific photos of the body and claimed it could be inflammatory for the jury.
Bronson has said he will rule later on the matter and wants to look at how other potentially similar cases have been handled.
