#PUEBLO: It’s day one of jury selection in the #DontheLucas trial. He’s accused of killing #KelsieSchelling, who disappeared in 2013. I’ve been told jury selection could last a week or more, with opening statements anticipated on February 3.

Here’s the decorum order regarding the #Lucas trial. No cameras, no live reporting.

Jury selection is not open to the public, by the way. #KelsieSchelling’s mother, Laura Saxton, just provided me this statement: “Just praying for the best possible jury, and also praying for them, because I know this is going to be a difficult process for them.”

Thanks, @GoJacks for the KOAA reporter's Twitter as we prepare for another Colorado trial by twitter. Not complaining as it's better than nothing.

I'm hoping it will still be streamed on Webex.

I saw ABC said that, but @ColetteBordelon had the actual decorum posted earlier and that was clearly not an option. She has since deleted that tweet though......

Before Mark Redwine's case declared a mistrial, the WebEx instructions were posted on the Durango court site with instructions how the public could phone in or log in to WebEx during the actual trial proceedings (excluding voir dire / jury selection).

However, these public accommodations are only because of the in-person COVID19 restrictions. The court also made it clear in their instructions that Colorado Statute prohibits the networks from live streaming.

I don't know why Kelsie's case is not listed/linked in the "cases of public interest" section for District 10....

OK, I just checked the Dist 10 court site and found the links for Judge Thomas Flesher's virtual courtroom # 503. I've not seen anything about the numbers being updated daily but I'll keep watch.

So, what exactly happens during jury selection, the process known as “voir dire?” It directly means “to speak the truth.” I’m breaking down what attorneys are doing this week in the #DontheLucas trial all afternoon on

• Be in a location with excellent cellular or internet service.
• Only one person should talk at a time. Do not interrupt or talk over others.

• Making any video or audio recordings of WebEx court proceedings is strictly prohibited.

I dunno... Personally, I think LE made some mistakes early with this case that forced a lawsuit by the victim's mother. Now, I hate thinking about an officer dropping another name last March and it's only now coming to light.

My sympathy pours out for KS mother and her family.

LE hugely mishandled this case! There was evidence in her car that was never processed. It's disgusting.

My biggest hope is her mom gets her remains. She deserves that.

Just selection still underway?

The last report was that opening statements expected around Feb 3, 2021. No current tweets so I'm sure jury selection still underway. I recall jury selection for Mark Redwine taking about 8 working days -- I expect this to be very similar.

Almost 8 years her family has waited for this moment. I'll be keeping her family and friends in my thoughts tomorrow as this thing kicks off. I can't imagine.

No, Judge said it won't be on Webex this morning. Sigh.

Looks like this will be another "trial by tweet" except this time we are without Sam.

I logged in to Division 503 this morning and my session ended quickly. A call to the clerk confirmed the trial is not being made available to the public via WebEx.

ETA: When I was logged in to Division 503 courtroom, 3 different Lucas' appeared before the judge to formally answer their subpoenas. Two indicated they were staying (for the trial) and one said he did not believe he would be called to testify today and was leaving for the day.
