Another day in the jury selection trenches. The 22nd day of jury trial overall, the ninth day of jury selection overall and the fourth day of general questioning of the jurors was completed. Seven jurors were questioned on Monday and seven jurors were passed for cause and directed to return for the final jury selection day on October 8, 2009. A total of 24 jurors have been passed for cause out of the 64 that have been questioned so far. The trial resumes Tuesday morning at 9:00 with another eight jurors in the morning and eight jurors in the afternoon.

An uneventful day otherwise.
