The process of selecting the Jury took until 4pm. The Judge asked questions which eliminated people for medical, personal, work related reasons.
I must describe the two lawyers. the defense attorney looks a little discheveled, and he talks with a lot of ums and ahs and seems quite harmless and disarming(thus the name Columbo) The DA on the other hand entered the courtroom hung his cream colored cowboy hat on the hat rack and strode confidently into the room. he looks pale unhealthy and unhappy, his head is mostly bald except for side hair slicked down in pieces very unsightly (have to name him Wrangler__)
Then Columbo (the defense Attorney) and the DA (Wrangler) began questoning.
Columbo kept us amused while he consistantly annoyed the judge and the DA. An example; he would stand very close to the DA, who was siting, while talking to the potential jurors. The DA would have to crane his neck in order to look up at Columbo. then Columbo would move around so the DA had to move his chair around to hear and see him. Columbo would bump the DA;s chair and make the DA angry. The DA kept moving around and asking the Judge to make Columbo ask a question. Columbo in his very columbo style waa "connecting" with the Jury and infuriating the DA at the same time. When the DA got up to question the Jurors he jumped up,turned aggressively to the jurors and began to talk "down" to them. Annoying.
i am going to stop and start again
