this may seem like a petty concern, but reporters duck in and out of the courtroom throughout the proceedings to provide updates. they need access to their devices to do their jobs. forcing them to stow phones & cameras offsite restricts the press.

all but 21 of the jury pool have been dismissed for lunch. they’ll be back at 1:25. they’re doing individual voir dire in chambers now with the 21 they kept back. saw some cops bringing in pizza and bottled water, i assume for them.

here’s an odd jury selection question from elmer: “is there anyone here who doesn’t think being prepared for difficult situations is a good idea?”

and another, about which he conferred with CA platania before asking: “is there anyone here who thinks that anyone other than the individual charged should be made to pay for the death of heather heyer?” unclear if this was struck, but i didn’t see anyone answer.

of the 21 jurors taken back for individual voir dire, 2 were dismissed. so the 19 have been sent to lunch & now they’re doing the entire process from the beginning, 2 at a time, until they get 2 more. this means 75-80 folks are stuck here a bit longer...

they must’ve been successful picking their final 2 for the pool of 21. they’re letting the rest of the herd go home. our original 19 will be back from lunch in half an hour, then the final selection will occur... we’ll hear opening arguments sometime today.
