NO OTHER PERSON WILL BE ADMITTED. This is because we are following the CDC's social distancing and masking recommendations, and seating in the Courtroom and hallway is very limited.

All members of the public may watch the live proceedings on this website. (3) Although the Indiana Supreme Court has authorized video transmission of these proceedings to encourage social distancing and lessen the possibilities for spread of the COVID-19 virus the Supreme Court has not eliminated its general prohibition against cameras in the courtrooms and specifically has not altered its administrative rules prohibiting recording, re-transmission, or broadcasting, either live or delayed, without the court's express written permission pursuant to Indiana Judicial Conduct Rule 2.17. THEREFORE, IT IS STRICTLY ORDERED that no person viewing these proceedings may broadcast, televise, record or take photographs of these proceedings, either directly or indirectly, either by camera or computer-assisted program, application, or any electronic means whatsoever, while this Court is in session without the express prior approval of this Court and the Indiana Supreme Court.

Jury selection for the Jackson trial has begun; currently asking them for their definition of beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't know if it's the attorney for the defense or State.

I wasn't able to watch the jury selection in the afternoon so I have no idea of the makeup of the jury. If I can find an article with that in it, I'll post it.

My "commentary": I'm still ranting from the last 2 and I'm not too sure I'm going to like this one much better.

LOL! Sorry had to chuckle on that one! :D

That's okay - on what the jury is made up of. Eventually an article will appear - probably telling us the trial has been continued! :rolleyes: for some reason or other! I'm again - not getting any updated articles over here... I'll leave it to you! :)

Listening to this trial is almost a waste of time. They have no podium for prosecution so he's walking all over the place. Sound lags, fades in and out... so you can't make much sense of his part of the questioning. The witnesses have a mic so they can be heard well; same for the defense. I spoke too soon; now defense is wandering all over as he asks questions.
