Defense done with jury pool. All have been asked to leave main room while both sides agree on final 14 jurors. #ArochiTrial @wfaachannel8

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 17m17 minutes ago
Defense just wrapped up questioning potential jurors. They're released from jury room until called back when attorneys make selection @FOX4

Jobin Panicker ‏@jobinpnews 15m15 minutes ago
Both mother and stepmother of #ChristinaMorris are in court today for jury selection. #ArochiTrial @wfaachannel8

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 14m14 minutes ago
Some highlights: based on defense questionnaire 65-70% of pot jurors had read/heard or researched case prior to jury summons @FOX4 #Arochi

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 11m11 minutes ago McKinney, TX
A handful of pot jurors raised hand when asked if already think #Arochi is guilty. One woman said daughtr went to school w Christina @FOX4

Jobin Panicker ‏@jobinpnews 11m11 minutes ago
Interesting note. Defense says State outlined that it may call up to 150 witnesses in this case. Says not likely. #ArochiTrial @wfaachannel8

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 10m10 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Most of potential jurors raised hand when asked if they'd hold state to burden of proving case "beyond a reasonable doubt " @FOX4

Defense asked - if DNA evidence presented, would pot jurors force state to show how it got there. All raised hands @FOX4

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 5m5 minutes ago McKinney, TX
At least 10 pot jurors said could NOT consider probation if #Arochi found guilty of agg kidnapping. By law, probation is option @FOX4

Ok. Any non-legal questions you may have so far? I will try my best to be your eyes and ears in here. #ArochiTrial @wfaachannel8

Judge did not give attorneys a time limit on how long to choose challenges. Until then, potential jurors wait in hallway. #arochitrial

Judge agrees to prosecution request to cut 43 potential jurors for cause from list - a little more than half still in pool #arochitrial

Valerie Wigglesworth Verified account ‏@vlwigg 19m19 minutes ago
Defense adds 1 more, state adds 1 more to cut list - now each side gets to strike up to 10 more #arochitrial

Valerie Wigglesworth Verified account ‏@vlwigg 16m16 minutes ago
Remember jury selection is a process of elimination - starting with 1st seat in front - if not cut, then they are on the jury #arochitrial

Valerie Wigglesworth Verified account ‏@vlwigg 11m11 minutes ago
Defense questions also honed in on requiring state to prove what is in indictment beyond a reasonable doubt #arochitrial
