I checked out CourtTv's coverage of the jury selection tonight and the big story was,they finalized choosing 14 jurors,with the breakdown as follows:
12 regular jurors and two alternates(with two more alternates to be chosen.)
Of the 14 jurors,5 were men--9 were women.
9 were under 50 years old,5 were over.
8 Whites,4 blacks.
The prosecution used all its strikes to dismiss all White potential jurors,while the defense split it down the middle.
Whoever said "all lives matter",was eliminated.
Juror #14's interview was played--she was a social worker who would seem sympathetic to the prosecution.She's a White woman in her late 20s.
Just a cursory review would seem to indicate,no chance at all,of all 12 jurors agreeing one way or the other.
I'll be watching.
