State begins by saying they have some witness issues regarding one of the days of testimonies but besides that, they are ready to go.

Defense says they are ready.

Jury selection will begin once Judge Kyle gets through the other cases.

Jury selection will begin with potential jurors being asked if they can sit through a lengthy trial.

The Rodgers trial took roughly 4 weeks, Mark Sievers trial is expected to last longer.

Judge Kyle says this trial might take 5 weeks or maybe a little more and asked the potential jurors who would find it difficult to serve on a trial of this length.

So far 26 potential jurors have said it would be difficult for them.

21 potential jurors have been released for cause.

One juror with a medical condition said the temperature in the courtroom is too cold and could cause him to become ill.

Judge Kyle is reading to the potential jurors what the allegations against Mark Sievers are.

When asked if they were familiar with this case, roughly 20 people raised their hands. That's the majority of the remaining potential jurors.

2 more potential jurors said they've heard of the case. The remaining 6 that have not were dismissed, asked to return Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Now each potential juror is being questioned individually on what they know about this murder case and if they have any preconceived notions.
