re: #242 lawhawk

Judge Merchan indicates that the opening statements should start Monday, given that we’ve gotten 7 jurors seated, and should be able to get the remaining 11 (includes the alternates).

That increases the chances that the trial concludes before Memorial Day.

There will be no defense witnesses. Defense will move to dismiss when the prosecution is done, saying they didn’t prove anything, at which point the prosecution should ask, “Were you not paying attention? The jury was.”
