Why did it take eight years for Curtis Reeves case to go to trial?
February 8 Update: The Curtis Reeves trial had another day of jury selection. On Tuesday, around 50 jurors were seen and 24 of them were released. An additional 15 jurors came in later and 3 of those were released.
The process will continue and they are forecasted to have a jury sat by the end of tomorrow.

February 7 Update: This first day was a long one for potential jurors. More than half of the initial pool of 50 prospective jurors told the court they knew something about the case.
The wide media coverage this trial received has been a concern as far as what it would mean for seating a jury.
The judge and lawyers questioned those who said they’d heard of the case.
Five prospective jurors were dismissed because they said they already made their minds up about the case. Jury selection is expected to continue Tuesday.
