A day long of deliberating yielded results.
State Attorney Angela Corey began questioning the 62 remaining in the jury pool late Tuesday. Only 61 showed up on Wednesday morning when she resumed through the lunch break short after noon. From there, defense Attorney Cory Strolla took over, carrying questioning through just before 4 PM.
Corey, Strolla and Judge Russell Healey then met in closed chambers to figure out that final 12 juror and 4 alternate panel.
Who the alternates are has not been made clear. The panel overall consists of 10 women and 6 men. We were not given many personal details on the jurors, which means we can’t confirm the age and race of each person. Visually, the pool reporter in the courtroom is reporting 10 white jurors, 3 black, 1 Asian, 1 Indian and 1 Hispanic.
Here is a breakdown of some of the basic information we have gathered through jury selection questioning, as submitted by the jurors:

As notable as information on those selected are details on who wasn’t selected. WOKV has noted that nobody who identified as having or actively seeking a concealed weapons permit was put on this jury panel. Additionally, none of those who identified as having an issue with “loud music” were seated.
The jurors have been allowed to return to their homes for the evening, but must report to their undisclosed hotel by 8 AM. The hotel, any restaurants which will be visited, and anyone who visits the jurors during sequestration will all sign confidentiality agreements, according to the judge. There will be limited visitation allowed on Sunday. Healey is letting jurors decide if they want to hold the trial on Saturday- that decision is expected Thursday.
Opening statements for Dunn’s trial are now scheduled for noon Thursday. Judge Healey says there are other trial matters that will be handled ahead of time, but did not specifically reference what those will be. WOKV plans to continue providing coverage through this trial.
