A woman has finally been chosen as the next alternate. Surprisingly, it seems that women make up the majority of the jurors. From a glance, it appears the jury so far will consist of 6 men and 9 women. The 12 core jurors are 4 men and 8 women.
Of course, this is just an estimate. Believe me, there is some debate about who is who as the camera keeps shifting and no one in the media room can count fast enough. And don't get us going on the mix. It seems to be 8 black and 4 white, but again --don't quote this.
The one thing we all can agree on is that there is one lone spot open and while we quickly scan the room, we wonder who's going to be the final alternate. Although this person will be the fourth alternate and the 16th juror chosen, they will be filling seat number 13.
The judge calls another person up for questioning --a woman. Will she make the cut?
