so many spots around town are tainted now. i’m sitting finishing a cigarette staring at the spot where i watched our police defend the ku klux klan in july. where friends of mine were gassed & arrested for standing up to white supremacist violence.

not that that park wasn’t already tainted by the presence of a monument to white supremacy. tear that thing down. melt it down. tear ‘em all down. catch y’all at the next recess.

122 jurors were called today. they’ve taken their pool of 21 back for individual voir dire. i figure this will take about an hour, so i’m seizing this opportunity to be anywhere but this courthouse for a bit.

the prosecution says they’ll likely call most of the same witnesses we saw in the goodwin case yesterday: the victim (deandre harris), detective hickey, nurse pryce from the ER, sheriff james brown, and one we didn’t hear from before, CSO brian arndt. defense lists no witnesses.

i’m trying a new two color note taking strategy - i write down so much extraneous shit in my awful handwriting that i’m scrambling at recesses to find the good bits. hopefully marking them in another color will help! getting better at this not-job every time.

the whole jury pool is being released for an hour for lunch. i guess i could go home & let the dogs out. gonna be another long day, i suspect. platania told one concerned juror that they’d “probably” be done in time for her to pick up her kids at 7.

jury pool filtering back in from lunch now! i’m hopeful that jury selection will wrap up quickly from here and we’ll be started before too long. there will likely be another break after final selection so jurors can notify their families... see you then!

we didn’t get to opening statements on monday until 4:20 — we’re definitely ahead of schedule in comparison.

well that’s what i get for getting my hopes up. looks like three jurors didn’t make it through individual voir dire. the folks who did were released for lunch, back at 3:30. should be getting started then.
