Slow start for the second day of the Highland Park Parade Shooting Trial

The second day of the jury's selection had a slow start to the case against the alleged Highland Park Parade shooter, whereby the judge dismissed one of the seven selected jurors on Tuesday.

During the lunch break, lawyers had accepted two other jurors, a 19-year-old EMT, who got into the job to “save people”, and an employee of the municipality of Palatine.

This brings the total number of impaneled jurors to 8 of the 18 that are required before the start of an experiment.

The judge of Lake County, Victoria Rossetti, said she hoped to improve the entire jury by the end of Wednesday, whereby he had determined the explanations opened for Monday.

The accused, Robert Crimo III. Half of the jury's selection on Monday.

The first setback on Tuesday occurred before each survey of the jurors when Rossetti spoke privately to lawyers and released a juror.

Rossetti did not explain why the juror, who has a local car business and a truck and trailer repair, was released. The juror informed the court on Monday that he was busy with his shops and planned a trip to South Dakota.

Several potential jurors said it would be difficult to commit to three to five weeks that the attempt could take.

16 potential jurors were interviewed on Tuesday before the lunch break.

The first juror to be accepted on Tuesday is a 19-year-old EMT who wants to become a paramedic. He changed career paths to college for a month, he said because he “just wants them to save people”.

The other juror accepted on Tuesday is a director of support for Palatin Township. She has two children aged 6 and 10. Asked by the deputy public defender Anton Trizna whether she had formed an opinion about the accused.
