Trial will Resume on Monday -100 Jurors pass the Hardsahip test

A brief trial update today. The second day of jury selection was completed and hardship inquiry was conducted on another 150 jurors. 41 of the 150 jurors were passed for hardship and move on to the next stage of general juror questioning.

The two day total is 300 jurors questioned and 100 of them remain in play for the next phase of jury selection. That is a pretty high passage rate (33%) for a case where we are asking them to be available from October through December.

The trial is in recess Friday and will resume on Monday morning. Another 150 new jurors will be brought in on Monday for hardship inquiry.
