Found a MSM update for this morning:
One man said he may have a hard time sitting as a juror in the case because his wife has had three stillborn babies. His voice quavering, he said he can’t watch TV shows that deal with children who have medical issues because of his personal heartache. This prospective juror, who owns his own landscape construction business, will be questioned more in depth about his views at a later time when jurors are questioned individually by the prosecution and defense.
One other prospective juror, a kindergarten teacher, disclosed that her husband suffered a catastrophic injury at work several years ago when he worked at the water department. She noted she has had to care for him ever since.
One other juror, a man who sells collectibles and computer games on eBay, noted he moved to the Golden Isles from California more than a decade ago because his father was suffering from terminal cancer. He also said an extremely close friend of his unexpectedly committed suicide by hanging himself.
Another juror revealed that she’d been removed from her home when she was young because her parents abused her.
Jury selection continued with a new constant: the sound of coughs and muffled sneezes. Two of the 11 prospective jurors seated in the jury box appeared to be extremely ill. One had a constant, hacking cough; the other was so congested lawyers strained to hear her answers. Two more looked like they were coming down with something.
The two jurors who looked the most ill have sat on both sides of the owner of the landscape construction company for two days now. On Wednesday, he appeared fine. On Thursday, he was coughing.
