Right, Cindy David. Now, bringing those jurors in from an outside county is definitely unusual, but we're told that it's necessary with this case due to the publicity that it's already had. And we had a juror dismissed this morning from seeing something on the case within that 24 hours.

Tennessee state law says that all criminal prosecutions, excluding death penalty cases, it is up to the judge to determine if a jury should be sequestered. Since this is the case for this trial, jurors will be put up at a Hamilton County hotel with no electronics. Their friends and family will be given a phone number to call in case of an emergency.

This is a first-degree murder case, which is defined by state law as the premeditated and intentional killing of another person. Premeditation means the intent to kill must have been formed before the act itself. And the trial begins Monday at 9 a.m. in Hamilton County, and we'll be bringing live updates from that.
