Day One Complete
Day One of jury selection is complete.
-Of the roughly 200 Oneida Co. residents who appeared for jury duty after receiving a summons, 121 remain viable for consideration as one of the 12 jurors or 4 alternates.
-The process continues Tuesday when many of the potential jurors will be questioned directly by Judge Michael Dwyer, prosecutors Kurt Hameline & Paul Hernon, and defense attorney Rebecca Wittman. Many would-be jurors will be excused from this process once the attorneys review a questionnaire each was required to complete before leaving today.
-Attorneys will use Tuesday & Wednesday to make their final determinations on jurors.
-In the meantime, the potential jurors are being asked not to comment, even to family members, about the case for which they may eventually become a juror. Judge Dwyer indicated concern that those close to the would-be jurors would be unable to resist giving their own opinion about the case.
