the potential jurors

The potential jurors are filling the courtroom as I type. There’s definitely a mix in ages, races and backgrounds. Some are dressed up in shirts and ties or pantsuits. Others look like they just got done working in the yard. One woman is carrying a book about Princess Diana.

Edmund Ford has entered the courtroom and is sitting beside his attorney Mike Scholl.

Judge Samuel H. Mays, Jr. is telling the jury pool what will happen and what will happen if they are chosen.

Judge Mays said he believes the trial will last three or four days and the jury will not be sequestered.
