Here is a link to an article an attorney wrote for advertisement purposes about "preparing for a jury trial Jacksonville Florida." I've only copied the start of the jury process but it answers all the questions about jury selection, voir dire, etc.
Selecting the Jury
On the day your case goes to trial, a group of prospective jurors is selected at random. If the jury will consist of the traditional 12 jurors, about 30 prospective jurors will be called. If the jury will consist of only six or eight jurors, the jury pool is likely to be smaller.
The pool of prospective jurors is brought into the courtroom, and a smaller group is chosen at random and seated in the jury box. The judge then asks them questions. The goal of this questioning process, which lawyers refer to by the French term, voir dire, is to select a fair and impartial jury.

but how are they going to do this in a couple hours? Ron's not taking a plea, IMO and I think the sympathy or mental health or entrapment cards are about to be played. :banghead:
