Four more jurors approved

Jury selection is back on this morning in the Joseph Duncan capital sentencing trial, and so far, four more jurors have been approved, bringing the total approved in the case so far to 44. Two have been excused, one because he said he’d already decided anyone who committed crimes like Duncan’s should get the death penalty, and the other because he’s a full-time student at BSU about to start classes later this month. Another four prospective jurors were excused by stipulation of all sides, based on how they answered their 47-page jury questionnaire, which includes questions about everything from their bumper stickers to their views on the death penalty. There are still 19 more prospective jurors awaiting questioning today.
