Another day of jury selection completed. Not the best of days in terms of three of the four jurors who were passed for cause. These three jurors lean strongly against the death penalty but remained on the jury because they stated they could still be fair and impartial and consider the death penalty in an appropriate case.
13 jurors were questioned today (instead of the usual 16 because three jurors were not present: one juror failed to appear, one juror flew to Taiwan to be with her ill father, and one juror was too sick to attend court) and four of the prospective jurors were passed for cause and return on October 8, 2009 for the final jury selection process. After 12 days of general questioning, 55 jurors have been cleared for cause (out of 187 jurors). There are three days and 49 jurors left in the scheduled jury questioning process. The trial resumes this morning with voir dire of a new group of 16 jurors.Just three days of jury questioning left.

Judge Parsons did not address the issue of what the court plans to do if we do not acquire enough jurors by the completion of jury questioning next Tuesday.
