Jury selection began at 9:30am on Monday morning. Judge Daniel Breen greeted the pool of 93 possible jurers. He says they should pay attention all questions and mentioned that even though there is a camera in the courtroom, not to worry. It's a court camera and not a live feed for broadcast.
They are taking great care to make sure the jurors are unbiased even though this is a highly covered case. The jurors themselves were asked to refrain from talking to each other --even if they happened to know each other before this meeting.
Judge Breen then laid out what will happen and who's on trial. He says there is no plans to sequest the jurors and at this moment, there are no plans for weekend court sessions.
