Day 8 of Jury Selection Continues

Jury selection enters day 8 and finding jurors who haven't formed an opinion on this high-profile case or will have a hard time being sequestered for up to 8 weeks is getting more difficult. Although as of late Monday 17 prospective jurors were found, none of them have been sworn in and technically, one or more of them can still be rejected by either the prosecution or the defense.

The cable news channels are having a field day with picking apart prospective jurors. There are already two jurors who have been in trouble with the law. One for possessing marijuana and the other a DUI. The debate continues on how favorable these prospective jurors will be for either side.

Of course Casey Anthony is under a microscope also. From her clothing to her demeanor, the focus is on how she behaves during this long and tedious process. Day one saw her unable to control her emotions. As time goes by, she has reacted with smirks, laughter, tears and the behavior of a spoiled child who doesn't feel like sitting still.  It will be interesting to see how she reacts once the real action begins.
