Jurors arrive at courthouse
Posted Mar06, 2008 at 08:30 AM
It's the third day in the case against William Morva, and court was expected to begin at 8:45.
The 24 potential jurors who were chosen over the last two days are on their way into the courthouse to get started.
The first item of business this morning will be to allow the prosecution and the defense each to strike five of the potential jurors.
A bailiff carries a list of the potential jurors to the prosecution, who strikes one, then to the defense, who strikes another, and so on until 10 people have been eliminated.
Once a jury of 14 - 12 jurors plus two alternates - has been chosen, the two sides are likely to begin with their opening statements.
