Yea I guess I’ve just never seen a defendant invoke their right to a speedy trial before. Have you?

I’ve seen defendants try to use the speedy trial thing before, but they have always then waived that right after consulting with their legal counsel. I have never actually seen the right to a speedy trial result in such a speedy trial.

I hope it backfires in his (IMO) guilty face!

MOO!

Adrian said the jury pool was down to 71 people and they would begin voir dire at 9 a.m. Monday. There will be an afternoon session beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Prospective jurors will be brought in four at a time to face questioning. Each attorney is allowed to reject seven potential jurors before 12 jurors and four alternates are chosen.

Opening arguments are expected to begin Tuesday. The prosecution said it may call as many as 70 witnesses and their testimonies could take up most of the week. Schnack said she anticipated needing two days to call defense witnesses.
