Found Deceased GA - Quinton Simon - Missing From Home - Mom ARRESTED- Savannah #4

[MsMarple]

No cameras were allowed in court, but WJCL 22 News’ Andy Cole was there. He spotted Simon in court, dressed in a white sweater and black pants, taking a fair amount of notes during the seven hour day.

The day began by questioning the entire group on basic questions: have you heard of this case, do you know anyone involved and could you be impartial if you had to serve on this jury. For the record, nine potential jurors said they had already made their mind up about Simon’s innocence or guilt.

16 potential jurors dropped from Leilani Simon case

Simon is accused of killing her toddler son, Quinton Simon, back in October 2022.

Out of 67 possible jurors 20 qualified and 16 were dropped. The goal is to have a pool of 50 qualified potential jurors. Final motions hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning then more jury selection on Friday.

The judge hopes to start the trial early next week.

For those of you in the know.......
If a jury is picked today, will the trial start tomorrow?

I watched the local wsav news here as they are covering the trial and it was stated they expect the jury to be selected by Friday. I also heard they let a lot of potential jurors go, the reporter stating most jurors already had their mind made up about her guilt. I'll see if I can't find a link.

"Quite a few potential jurors outright admitted they had formed opinions on the case despite not seeing any evidence presented in the courtroom. Around a dozen jurors were released."

Was she really taking notes or did she finally get the colored pencils she had been whining about?

Yep, and LE didn't muck about. They sent him to Quantico.

The defense will not get any traction trying to argue that the remains found were too damaged or contaminated. That doesn't mean her lawyer won't try, though.

It's been 2 years since Quinton Simon died. When will his mother go to trial?

Leilani Simon was arrested after investigators found Quinton's remains in a landfill.

MOO

Well, that's going to suck for the Defense then IMO, because 12 jurors are not going to appreciate them trying to insinuate those little baby's remains found dumped in a nasty land fill that workers had to search for weeks in the heat, while bio Mom sat on her lawn drinking, blasting music and shouting back at protesters are not those of Little Quinton.

I wonder if she will still have that defiant attitude she had before his remains were found? I can remember Leilani saying (paraphrasing) "If you find Quinton's body, I will drive to the Sheriff''s Office and turn myself in". I wanted to wipe that smug, delusional smirk right off her face when she said that. Does she still have that cold indifferance or has reality set in that she is going to go to prison for a very long time I wonder?
