Poor Jackson County Jurors.

Murder trial with a Tuesday start. That's usually a good thing since we get to start jury selection right at 9:00 a.m. instead of waiting until the afternoon like on Monday starts. (Strange how jury selection starts Monday morning everywhere but in Jackson County.)
Alas, no early start. Jury panel arrives at 11:15. Jury isn't  picked until 7:00 p.m. That's a long day for $5.00 jury pay.
Prosecutor asks to not swear the jury until Wednesday and has "found" another witness. The witness they couldn't find for two years, two weeks and a day has been continuously working at ReStart since the shooting.
