Yeah. I mean, it didn't really hit me until about halfway through the trial. I just remember it just smacked me in the face like, oh my gosh, like, I could bring this unique perspective from sitting in the jury box and hearing this story unfold day after day, just like as I heard it in the trial. I wanted our listeners to kind of have that same experience.

I mean, I'm assuming this is the kind of experience that is now going to stay with you forever. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This whole thing has changed me. I still haven't processed it all. I pretty much jumped right into telling this story. And yeah, it was just a very profound and life-changing experience.

It was a huge challenge to seat a jury in a case that is as public and controversial as this one.

Yeah, it really is big. Judge Canone wanted 18 jurors, and she got them Tuesday afternoon, nine men and nine women. All of the jurors are going to be seated for the entire trial, but after closing arguments, only 12 of them are going to be chosen to deliberate.

Blaine, it was a huge challenge to see the jury in a case that is as public and controversial as this one. Let's just look at the numbers from court for Tuesday's jury pool. Pool number 10. There were 54 people. 43 had heard of the case. 26 had formed an opinion. And that's about half of the people there. And eight reported having a bias. So then you have other conflicts.

For instance, nine of the jurors said they knew witnesses. Four knew either some of the lawyers involved in the case or the district attorney. Outside of court this week, Karen Reid said she wasn't bothered by the long selection process.
