I’m a little confused.
Is the trial going to be on Court TV or some other streaming service?

It will be live streamed after jury selection is completed.

Defense and prosecution still going through potential jurors in Nathaniel Rowland trial. Sixty-two will be picked at random to make up a final pool. About 18 people excused after telling they judge they’d read or seen media reports since reporting for jury duty.

#FakeUberMurderTrial - Victim's boyfriend on the stand. The last time he spoke to #SamanthaJoseph was at 2:04 am. She had called an Uber. They had their locations shared with each other so he could track her and make sure she got home ok.@LawCrimeNetwork

#FakeUberMurderTrial - Corbishley noticed Samantha's phone was going in the opposite direction as her home. He texted her, no response, no answer to his call. His text never showed "read". He tried contacting her via snapchat, no response.

#FakeUberMurderTrial - Gipson: The simplest explanation is the truth. The simple explanation is Nathaniel Rowland kidnapped Samantha Josephs. Rowland murdered Josephson.

Yes, no cross makes trials zoom along. I’m thankful they didn’t try to pin it on her boyfriend.

Court has adjourned for the day. Opening statements and early testimony plaintext a harrowing picture of Samantha Josephson’s final moments as he friends tried to track her down with an increasing sense of dread.

At least for now!
I thought it was kinda amazing how quickly and how involved her friends were in trying to find her once they realized something was wrong.
