One of the potential jurors excused knew Fr. Freed well

After the evidentiary hearing this morning in the Gary Lee Bullock case, Judge John Feeney and the attorneys went over hardship questionnaires for 75 new prospective jurors. Yesterday, 72 new prospective jurors filled out the hardship questionnaire. Thse not excused from the 72 yesterday were asked to fill out long questionnaires.


At 1:30, the Court went through the long questionnaires of potential jurors from February 29. Some were scheduled for individual questioning. Groups of 5 jurors will be questioned individually, starting  tomorrow at 2 p.m. and continuing on Thursday morning. Those not being questioned individually from this first group will be told to call back after 5 p.m. this Friday.

Mr. Kaleb Cockrum , who represents Bullock, wants the cover sheet for the jury questionnaire amended regarding media reports and jurors not talking with each other. Suggested language and a proposed draft will be discussed.

Some jurors were excused after the first questionnaire, including one local member of the Catholic community who knew Fr. Eric Freed well.

One witness for the People will testify at 3 p.m. and that will conclude the evidentiary hearing for today.
