Final jury selection was super fast. Called up about 4 jurors at a time. Each side used its allotment of strikes. #PorterTrial #FreddieGray

This jury was chosen from a final pool of nearly 50 potential jurors. That number whittled down from 2 panels of 75 Mon/Tues. #PorterTrial

The #PorterTrial jury was sworn in immediately. Judge Williams telling them "I am the judge of the law, you are the judge of the facts."
