and on it drags....
Attorneys and the chief judge presiding over the jury selection process for Casey Anthony's first-degree murder trial made headway today, bringing the total of prospective panel members to 17 by the afternoon.
Those 17 prospective jurors passed the initial rounds in a Pinellas County courtroom. However, none has been sworn in and any could still be eliminated by the state or defense, which has nine and eight preemptory challenges, respectively.
defense does NOT want young mothers on this jury. theoretically, they could strike most of this jury and it would start all over. delay delay.
