[Oregonmama]

wow...

Taylor Petras‏ @TaylorPetras 25s26 seconds ago
Mummert asks the potential jurors if anyone would like to hear Sievers testify. After some hesitation from jurors, Mummer shouts, 'Yes we all do!'

Mummert making it clear to potential jurors they cannot hold that against Sievers if he does not testify @winknews

Mummert now asking jurors if a witness was offered something in exchange for testimony and if they would weigh that to determine if the witness is reliable.

Curtis Wayne Wright was offered a plea deal in exchange for testimony @winknews

Defense Attorney Michael Mummert offers a moment of levity while explaining to jurors a Defenant’s decision not to testify can’t be held against them...despite the natural urge to want to hear both sides.

I'm feeling more that we will not hear opening statements today in #marksieversontrial. Defense attorney Mummert is still questioning potential jurors as a group. Earliest they get a jury if they stopped now would be 4 p.m. #trialtweets #timingistough #nbc2courtcoverage

Mummert now asking each juror individually if they had a reasonable doubt whether they would speak up and discuss it with the 11 other jurors @winknews

Defense is now sharing their witness list. As we've known based on prior court hearings, much of their list matches the state attorney's office list for prosecution of the case. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers #MarkSieversontrial

Defense is reading their witness list now, which includes Taylor Shoemaker, Angela Wright, and Dr. Mark Petritis.

Defense just finished its questions. Now reading its witness list too see if potential jurors know any of the names @winknews

BREAKING: Jurors were just released. Both sides will now begin the selection process which goes back and forth and back and forth. We'll know soon if we have enough to seat a jury. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers #MarkSieversontrial

Defense just finished questioning the group of 37 remaining potential jurors. Attorneys will now get a chance to argue for cause strikes and use a certain number of preemptive strikes to whittle the pool down

We need 14 jurors left after this process to begin opening statements

#SieversTrial - The questioning of potential jurors is complete. They are now starting the process of selecting, using strikes, etc... They need 12 plus 2 alternates.

It's starting to look like we might not get done with the jury selection process today after all, which means opening statements will probably be pushed until tomorrow.

What about supplying a "Jury Bus" for those with legitimate issues concerning transportation? Some may really want to serve, but may have medical, financial, or navigational issues. Some may have fear of getting lost, or they may share a vehicle with their family. Think about the parking spaces that would save for the rest of us who want to show up.

What about a "Volunteer Juror" pool? There are potential jurors who are dying to serve out there. Also, students in the legal field would enjoy attending so they can study prosecutor/defense tactics. Maybe they should have to attend x amount of death penalty cases as part of a course, or for extra credit?

Maybe include an endorsement on your driver's license, which would be yanked if you commit certain infractions?

I know I'm not the only one salivating out here!

I spoke too soon. They're calling one PJ back now for sidebar discussion. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers #MarkSieversontrial

Now onto the third potential jury called to side bar. This is I believe the convicted felon who's record was expunged. He mentioned two cases, aiding and abetting a felon and DUI. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

^^^^interesting

 

[SWFlorida]

Can any of us just show up at the trial?

 

[Oregonmama]

UGH

Three jurors just struck for cause. We are now down to 34 potential jurors by my count.

 

[Oregonmama]

YES! They might have an extra viewing room if crowds are big

State and defense are going through the striking process of potential jurors right now.

 

[Oregonmama]
