White males? What is the significance of that?

And that's it, we have 12 jurors. Now turning to 4 alternates. #scheneckertrial

It is not often we are given the opportunity to watch the trial jury selection at work.
Excellent view of the U.S. Judicial System

Race and gender neutrality, from what I heard in the courtroom.

What a difference from Arizona.

I wonder how old they are and if they have children?

I thought as they were walking in it looked like more males. Sometimes it is hard to tell though.

LOL! So glad you said that for me, LambChop.

Some of them must have kids.

All the remaining jury pool are dismissed from this case and they happily left the courtroom.
Defendant was crying and being comforted by her attorneys as they left.
My guess those are tears of relief of anxiety over the jury selection?
She had more emotion when the dismissed jury pool left the room than she did when the chosen jury members left the room. When her official jury members were leaving, she was stooping over her table with her head down looking at something. It was like she was reading the daily news and couldn't be bothered with them.

This looks to be one well-run, no-nonsense trial, but we shall see.

I continue to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brain falls out.

See ya'll here Monday a.m.

For anyone watching the Oscar Pistorius trial, it resumes Monday as well.

I noticed that too. Strange.
