Should take another week, or so. The jury will be seated by the end of the next court week. And I expect a few Baston (sp) hearings, and for O'Mara to try and get a continuance based on bias. Maybe even ask for a change of venue.
Didn't know about the jury consultant. Pretty damned expensive - I guess that's where this last round of donations is going?
Hope you're right that a jury will be seated by end of next week; seems reasonable if both sides are truly working towards it.
I read last week that O'Mara said he has no imminent plans to ask for a change of venue, nor to put Zimmerman (or any other defense witnesses) on the stand. But then, he left the door wide open to do both depending on how jury selection goes and the how the state's case proceeds. Anything goes still.
