Juan Ferrer who has been described by his defense attorney as a peaceful Buddhist, had a photo similar to the image above of Hindu deity Krishna playing the flute with a cow placed in front of him on the table in the courtroom.
He is the first defendant I have seen stand up and introduce himself to jurors and thank them for their time. He has been active in looking at prospective juror questionnaires and communicating with his defense attorney while the Judge and attorneys question prospective jurors.
This is the second week of jury selection in the Juan Ferrer jury trial. DDA Roger Rees, defense attorney Marek Reavis and trial Judge John Feeney are individually questioning jurors who have hardships or answers from a long questionnaire that need further clarification.
Larger group of jury selection is expected to start later this week. Ferrer is charged with the murder of Arcata chef Douglas Anderson-Jordet.
