A new article in today's January 7
www.citizen.com says a jury will be picked in the first week of March, and the trial will start on the second week.
I for one would definately not want to be one of the 12 jurors, and could probably get excused by the defense attorney after pointing out the various comments I've made in this thread.
People working in the NH justice system as police officers, prosecutors, lawyers, court officers and judges probably get mentally grounded over time with dealing with the difficult personal issues associated with their job. To be a defendant must be no picnic...sympathy extended to all involved.
