Juror493 open to considering death penalty or life w/o parole as sentence if Roof found guilty. #RoofTrial @Live5News

Juror493 is qualified. Judge said he had some of the most thoughtful responses he'd seen so far in jury selection. #RoofTrial @Live5News

Right now #RoofTrial needs seven more jurors to get a total of 70 in the juror pool.

If they don't qualify 7 of the final 10 potential jurors, looks like we won't reach 70 today. #sctweets @wis10 #DylannRoof #RoofTrial

And that could be a contact, because Richardson says that person she knows has a connection w/ U.S. Attorneys Office. #DylannRoof #RoofTrial
