Caylee Marie Anthony- MURDER TRIAL/JURY SELECTION - DAY 5 - 5/13/11

[west941]

The jury has to be a reflection of the community as far as racial stats go.  We don't know, she may be the only African American in the potential jury pool at this time. 

JP HAS to include her-

I thought someone said that one of the men were African American?

The Bing Brothers band member, I think.

No he is the DUI guy lol

The IT guy was the African American

It ain't over until the fat lady sings, no not Bolin, but in other words, we shouldn't be concerned as we still have another phase to go through.

Oh, ok......sorry.

Watch Casey now with Mrs. Serial Killer...very animated & enjoying her conversation.   Is she writing her book?

[klaasend]

Oh tell me he is not putting her on this jury because she is black. That is what it sounds like to me.

NO, its for cause, the State can use one of their PC

Right. They can still have her stricken.

Count so far:

8 coming back:

Males= #1340, #1232, #1129, #1019

Females= #1398, #1312, #1055, #1319

Again, I ask.... are we seating the actual jury and we have 8 so far -- or are we merely selecting jurors to go to the next round? They have a looooooooooong ways to go to seat 12 + alternates if so!

They are selecting the 12 jurors and 8 alternatives out of the 60+ that passed the first round.  I believe out of these both sides can eliminate 10 each.

I believe they will go over these picked again and use their strikes if they want.  Then those left will be sworn in

[Grandma2Maddie]

Can someone tell me what times they will be in court tomorrow?  I want to try to watch it if I get home from my granddaughter's gymnastic competition in time.

I know!  They are apparently "besties" now!  Birds of a feather ... and all that!

[west941]

ICA acts like she does not have a care in the world!

Maybe setting her up with one of her husbands cell mates

That should scare the chit out of everyone watching those too chatting it up. 

[sunshine12]

casey should not be allowed that close to a computer!

I honestly thought they didn't need a reason, I thought if they didn't want them they just said it and they were gone. Isn't that what the 10 challenges are for?

They objected for cause & that was denied.   The State did not use a peremptory challenges.  The State can use one of their 10 PC's.

Ok so The PC is you can dismiss any 10 you like for no reason..

The only reason race was brought up is because the defense made a stink over it in earlier days of voir dire, it wasnt what the judge based his ruling on an objection for cause.   Yes, the State can use one of their peremptory challenges in back strike.

[tupelohoney]

Casey looks like she has a giant mustache on her forehead. Who wears bangs in that manner.  If she only knew how ridiculous she looks.

[crazybabyborg]

That won't last, west. When trial begins, things won't go well for the defense and I think we'll see reaction from KC as things go downhill.

[Gypsy DD]

Yes Klaas that is my understanding.  And is the trial now scheduled to start on next Thursday the 19th? 

If it is Thursday the 19th I see no problem in having a jury of 12 and 8 alternates by that time.  I know the judge wants the jury to be sworn in asap..which makes perfect sense..but I have faith by Thursday he will have his jury and alternates seated in Orlando.

Judge Perry is going to bring in these 8 and 4 more they get to today on Saturday. (Tomorrow.)

If the State and the Defense do not use any of their strikes (they each get 10) to strike the jurors, then they will be sworn in.

He has not mentioned how/when he will get the alternatives yet.

Hope this makes sense.

It makes sense -- but if they only bring 12 in tomorrow (and each side has 10 pre-emptive strikes) -- they will need AT LEAST another week to seat 12 and alternates.

According to Judge Eaton, it's perfectly legal.  I think it sucks.

Ok i wasn't even thinking about race. I was concerned that she did a complete 180. So basically the the defense did that to force the state to use one of their PC. Which is fine worth it keep it moving!

Simms just went over to RB an Casey & something was said that had RB returning to her assigned seating with her laptop up in the air, shaking her head no the whole way
