By mid-day Friday, Wake County prosecutors and defense attorneys had seated 12 jurors and an alternate. They were expected to finish jury selection, adding another two alternate jurors, by the end of the day.
WRAL.com will provide live video of the trial daily once it begins.
Haven't read anything since Friday noon's WRAL report? Does anyone know if all the alternates were selected and if the trial begins first thing Monday morning? We have been waiting a long time for a live trial.
the last i saw was a tweet that said they had not agreed on the alternate's. They were to continue on monday to select the alternate's and with the opening statement's. I can't find an article though.
Found the tweet:

jury selection for the alternates will continue monday morning for #amandahayes and then opening statements..
I'm guessing Wes doesn't know yet? He says opening statements at 9:30. We'll see, I suppose.

Good morning WS Friends!Hopefully they finished Friday at the end stages of the alternate selection (with just defense questions left) and it'll go quick this morning. Wes is going to be there, isn't he? I hope he has his twitter fingers all warmed up, we got a little spoiled with Bryan's fast & furious updates on Thurdays. lol
