Help us fill the courtroom in support of Patrick. |
The Patrick Thompson trial began Wednesday morning, ironically enough the day after Independence Day.
Nearly 20 people were in the courtroom to support Patrick Thompson.
In a major decision, Judge Harry Clem ruled to allow the testimony of 3 men previously accused by [redacted]. In the first trial, this motion had been denied by Presiding Judge Difanis.
Jury selection is underway.
Of a pool of approximately 40, only one potential juror was African American.
Opening arguments may begin this afternoon.
Stay tuned.
