	Jury Selection Could Be over by Thursday PM, Opening Statements As Early As Monday, in First Trial in LA Concerning Pedophile Priests By Kay Ebeling City of Angels May 7, 2008 http://cityofangels4.blogspot.com/2008/05/jury-selection-still-on-no-date-set-for.html Jury selection could be complete as early as Thursday afternoon, according to a source in the first Salesian cases trial, which will be the first time a case concerning pedophile priests has gone before a jury in Los Angeles. Opening statements could start as early as Monday May 12th. Monday of last week when jury selection began, jurors who could not afford to serve for a 5 to 6 week trial made their cases to Judge Emilie Elias. Since then, the task has been finding jurors who have not heard too much about the settlements between the Los Angeles Archdiocese and more than five hundred plaintiffs last July. Apparently they have run into no serious problems, and opening statements will likely begin early next week. City of Angels is not covering jury selection, since our reporter is also a victim of a crime similar to ones to be discussed in the trial, and we don't want to taint a potential juror. We are staying away from Jury Selection but will be covering the trial and interviewing participants on camera for videos at City of Angels Network as the trial progresses. We will post here as soon as a jury is selected and a date and time set for opening statements. The trial will be in LA Superior Court, Department 308, on Commonwealth & Sixth Street, 14th Floor, Judge Emilie Elias' court. For background on the trial read previous posts here. Meanwhile at City of Angels Network we keep adding and changing videos daily, up top above the headline and down the left hand column of the blog, so keep coming back.
