Me too.
From the link:
One hundred prospective jurors are the pool of candidates to sit on the jury. Questioning today focused on what the potential jurors know about the case and whether it would be a hardship being on the jury.
Twelve jurors were excused. Another 30 will be added on Tuesday to bring the pool size to 130. This process will start up at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday.
Judge Healy told the jurors that the jury would be sequestered once the trial gets underway through the jury reaching a verdict. The trial is expected to last until the end of next week.

I don't know the source predicting that the trial will finish by end of next week, but they must be on ludes. That seems very unrealistic to me and not at all in line with other murder trials. I think the court will be lucky if the trial is finished by the end of the month.
