Juror 86 is a pastor. His questioning begins now. He has no opinions, bias, or prejudice. @cbs46

Friday began with some jurors being excused for various causes. The prosecuting attorney Chuck Boring asked for one juror to be excused because of her comments.
"She said she would need to be able to sleep at night and in her instructions she said she trusts her opinions of the law more than she would the judges instructions," Boring said.
The defense argued she should be qualified as a potential juror.
"I understand what she wrote out there that she trusted herself more than the judge's instructions but even if that were completely absolutely true that would not disqualify her."
Judge Mary Staley agreed with the defense.
"I would be instructing her on the law and she said she could follow it so I am not going to strike her for cause based on that."
