day 9 jury selection.
holy shit!
Judge has announced they no longer have use of this courtroom by end of business tomorrow...Thursday.
damn defense is dragging this out, looking for tiny appeal issues and delaying all they can. they want a mistrial i think.
Judge may need to use a community center to get another jury pool if they don't swear a jury very soon. courtrooms that are available for a lengthy jury selection are not a dime a dozen. they are booked with their own dockets.
i have never seen anything like this.
edit to add...now they can have courtroom friday and sat. maybe opening statements monday.
