After two days of work, a jury has been selected for Chikesia Clemons’ trial. One jury panel had to be dismissed, and a second summoned to find the 12 jurors and 2 alternates for the case involving the infamous Waffle House arrest. Details remain scarce as the trial is under a gag order.
What is known is that all of the potential jurors who showed up Monday were dismissed. The difficulty in finding a jury was to be expected given the high profile nature of the case. The arrest gained national attention and sparked protests in its aftermath.
