This story aired on March 6, 2018. Two days into the voir dire or jury selection process, the judge has blocked
off this entire week for jury selection. Even if it wraps up before Friday, opening statements and the first witness will not be called till Monday.
But much more work needs to be done before a jury is selected.
Today, the second group of over 100 jurors reported for jury duty and were questioned by the attorneys and judge. Both sides want to ensure the jurors picked are healthy, can get paid from their job while here and don't have any personal conflicts for the next month that could take their focus off of this case. Many jurors were dismissed today for a whole host of reasons.
"I also have to ask. The victim, in this case, is Sierah Jougins. Did anyone know here personally or have any sort of a relationship with her?" Judge Jeffrey Robinson asked.
The current jury pool is still well over 100, which means attorneys have a nice group to continue to question in order to select the right people to sit on this case.
Tomorrow, the jurors who have not been dismissed from both groups will return here to the courthouse. It's expected that the attorneys and judge will begin individual voir dire. Each juror will be called on and asked more specific questions about their beliefs and background. Their answers should help the defense and state decide which 12 will be the best fit to be seated on this jury.
