Jury seated in Lu-Lu trial

A jury of 14 people was seated today in the Louise Alexander felony trial and opening arguments will start tomorrow morning.

Of the jurors, 10 are women and four are men.

The ethnic breakdown is eight black women and two white, and three black men and one white.

Interesting, it would appear that former U.S. district judge U.W. Clemon will be the lead litigator for the defense team. 

He was appointed to the federal court position in 1980 and has not spent much time in state criminal court cases.
