Fourth Day of Juror Selection


We completed the fourth day of jury selection today and another 148 prospective jurors were brought into court and asked about sitting on this three months trial.

Of the 148 prospective jurors, 99 were excused due to hardship and 49 were passed for hardship and filled out questionnaires. Those 49 jurors were given dates to return for general questioning starting on September 8, 2009.

The total numbers for the four days of hardship jury selection are: 600 total jurors examined; 399 of those jurors were excused for hardship and 201 jurors were passed for hardship and will return for questioning at a later date in September.

It appears we will complete hardship inquiry tomorrow (Wednesday) with the final panels of 75 jurors in the morning and 75 jurors in the afternoon.
