2011.05.17 Jury Selection DAY EIGHT (Morning Edition)

[luckyme]

Hispanic guy was young guy caught for pot in tenn. I beleive.

 

[Tipstaff]

JB says the state is backstriking all the young people

JB showing his hand even more that he wants all young (IMO men) on the jury. Interesting.

 

[watergirl]

Im so worried we will be down to less than 12 by the time HHJP wants to swear them in.

 

[ExpectingUnicorns]

Looks like the SAs have a nice spreadsheet that they're working from ~ Organized!

 

[angelmom]

1, 4, 8, 10, 11, 22, 24, 29, 31, 35, 3?

Seat numbers, not juror numbers

 

[wenwe4]

I thought I heard DT struck 1119 seat #28 as well

 

[Tipstaff]

I'm so confused. I just don't understand what is happening today.

Even after the potential jurors made it this far each side gets to boot a certain amount of the potential jurors with challenges. Neither side has to give a specific reason they don't want a the juror.


I think the number each side has is 8 or 9 and that is what they are doing.

 

[SurfieTX]

They're at 11 right now.

 

[Amster]

1,4,8,10,11,22,24,29,31,35,36

These are left so far

 

[Wise Old Owl]

rut ro - HHJP just said that leaves us at 11

hhmmm..... so 6 strikes? I only have 5

I have
3397
1426
1232
1129
who are the other two?

HHJP says he can't swear without 12 and now there's only 11

 

[Lera213]

I'm figuring my list is now messed up...seat isn't helping me figure out who is out!

 

[SurfieTX]

HHJP instructed Baines to Call the 11 jurors to the courthouse.

Now bringing in 3054 for VD.

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

Juior number 3054 is on deck!

 

[Wise Old Owl]

was 3397 the woman in seat 6?

no 3397 was the last guy from yesterday afternoon

 

[ebedeeb]

We are at 11, Judge cannot swear in until we are at 12.

 

[angelmom]

Poor judge...everyone seems a little deflated to find that they are at 11 and can't swear them.

 

[Harmony 2]

Does everyone seem a little befuddled this morning lol?

Yes, I don't understand how back striking works... :waitasec:

 

[Celt1997]

So how many does each side have left now? Sounds like JB is considering some more backstrikes to keep the judge from swearing 12 in.

 

[watergirl]

Sounds like the DT wants to strike another but is holding cards close to collective vests.

:sigh:

 

[nursebeeme]

which was the very last one struck????
