Why the Cedric Marks trial is taking longer than expected

Liz Mitchell, a 6 News legal analyst, says the delay is due to many factors, but most importantly, it's because Marks is representing himself.
www.kcentv.com www.kcentv.com
[...]

The trial has been repeatedly delayed for many reasons. Liz Mitchell, a 6 News legal analyst, says the jury selection process can be long, especially in this case because Marks is representing himself.

"This is someone who is trying to defend themselves when really they don't have the extra education or experience to do so," Mitchell said. "There's not many young attorneys that would be willing to try a capital murder case, let alone someone who has zero legal experience."

[...]

One statement from Marks could derail the entire jury selection process as well.

"Mr. Marks might say something that is inadmissible, specific facts surrounding his case are not admissible and his prior history is not admissible," Mitchell said. "If he starts speaking about those things in front of a panel of 100 potential jurors, he's now spoiled that entire panel, and they're going to have to start over."

[...]

The court coordinator tells 6 News they are interviewing candidates one-by-one from a pool of 300 people. There is still no estimate on when the testimony will begin.
