I'm in Australia, so I probably can't watch much, but I sure will be reading each day to keep up, thank you!

Jury Selection 11/12/19 (Day 1) thru 11/14/19 (Day 3) reference post #293 here:
Mark Sievers - Jury Selection
11/15/19 Day 4 of Jury Selection: 64 potential jurors for today’s Round 2 of questioning on DP. Judge Kyle told a group of about 20 people who came in this morning to come back instead on Monday afternoon. Judge Kyle: "The panel has shrunk". And shrinking quickly this morning. 10 potential jurors have already been sent home since 8:30am. Some for being against death penalty, others now with work or medical issues that weren't brought up earlier in questioning. Jury selection continues to Monday, 11/18.
11/18/19 Day 5 of Jury Selection: Judge said there's 24 potential jurors cleared for general voir dire (likely tomorrow morning). He'll need 42-44 total to get a jury. They have about 20 for today to death penalty qualify. Judge talking with his team hopeful to start general voir dire tomorrow morning if there are enough potential jurors kept from today's 22. Judge just sent the 24 already cleared through death penalty qualifications home until tomorrow morning. Judge expects the jury to be seated Wed. or Thursday. The jury has a question (1 hour 30 minutes into deliberations). 14 coming back tomorrow with another group of 24. 8 sent home today. Jury selection continues on 11/19.
11/19/19 Day 6 of Jury Selection: 38 potential jurors here this morning. One has been sent home. Prosecutors have finished asking jurors questions. Defense finished questioning the group of 37 remaining potential jurors. Attorneys will now get a chance to argue for cause strikes and use a certain number of preemptive strikes to whittle the pool down. Need 14 jurors left after this process to begin opening statements. Three jurors just struck for cause. We are now down to 34 potential jurors by my count. A panel of 12 jurors has been selected for the Mark Sievers Trial. They are picking alternates now. The jury has been selected in the FL v. Mark Sievers. Opening statements tomorrow morning 10 a.m. on 11/20. Judge Kyle is now reading the charges against Sievers to the jurors. Sievers is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Jury being sworn in now. 9 women, 3 men in this jury.

Please post re livestreamI think CourtTV will be more coverage on this trial than with Rodgers. I think this will be the big one for everyone.
