Mark Sievers - Jury Selection

[Arachne 1]

I'm pretty sure they'll be able to seat a jury here. There are plenty of people who don't watch TV or read the papers. There are others who automatically skip the bad news, or are just too busy to give it any time.

Typically the jurors will be from either the county, where the offense occurred, or they will be from another county, but they still have to be brought to the original place / county of where the offense was committed. You may want to ask AZLawyer.

I am basing my reply on this link:

2005 Florida Code - :: CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND CORRECTIONS :: JURISDICTION AND VENUEChapter 910

..and specifically on Chapter 910 sub.ch. 910.03 Place of Trial generally:

(3) If a court finds that a fair and impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the county where the offense was committed, and the court determines that once a jury is selected it shall be sequestered, the court on its own motion, or upon a motion of any party, may elect to select a jury from a county other than where the offense was committed. The selection of the alternative county will be governed by the requirements of subsection (2). Upon completion of jury selection, the jury shall be brought for trial to the county where the offense was committed.


(Or the judge orders a change of venue, then this s.ch. applies)

(2) After a court orders a change of venue and in order to protect the defendant's due process rights, the court, upon a motion of any party, shall give priority to any county which closely resembles the demographic composition of the county wherein the original venue would lie.

I'm sad to see that JRR's sentencing has been delayed but I certainly understand why.

I'm ready for the jury selection to continue today.

We expect a bit more of the same today as they continue to work to death penalty qualify the rest of the potential jurors. As of now, it's going to be close in having a full panel. Lots depends on today. #trialtweets #nbc2courtcoverage #teresasievers #marksieversontrial

Jury questionnaire for Mark's potential jury...….

I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of information in the tweets, considering there’s no livestream.

Judge said there's 24 potential jurors cleared for general voir dire (likely tomorrow morning). He'll need 42-44 total to get a jury. They have about 20 for today to death penalty qualify. #trialtweets #nbc2courtcoverage #teresasievers #marksieversontrial

   Mark Sievers now in the courtroom. Judge said there's 22 people today. Currently they have 24. (He may be keeping some spare, unquestioned PJ in the justice center in case he gets desperate.) #trialtweets #nbc2courtcoverage #teresasievers #marksieversontrial

Back in court this morning where jury selection continues for the Mark Sievers trial.

Judge says 22 more potential jurors will be questioned today.

24 have already passed to general voir dire phase.

Jaclyn Bevis‏ @jbevis10 1m1 minute ago


Judge just sent the 24 already cleared through death penalty qualifications home until tomorrow morning. He apologized for being "a day off" but said it'd be back on track tomorrow. #trialtweets #nbc2courtcoverage #teresasievers #marksieversontrial

Back for more jury selection for the Mark Sievers trial. We just started with 22 potential jurors who are being individually asked questions regarding the death penalty. First potential juror dismissed after answering questions privately with judge and attorneys @winknews

Sandra Rodriguez‏ @SandraR_media 3m3 minutes ago
Court will need to keep at least 20 potential jurors from today's pool to meet their goal of just over 40 potential jurors for general voir dire.

First potential juror questioned is excused after privately discussing some matters with both parties and the judge.
