Court officials say jury selection for Ahmaud Arbery killing case could take more than two weeks as judge expresses frustration over the slow pace
Ahmaud Arbery's father Marcus Arbery, centre, heads into the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, GA with his attorney Benjamin Crump on October 18, 2021.
By afternoon, Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley had not declared anyone qualified to remain in the final group from which the jury will be chosen. Jury duty notices were mailed to 1,000 people in coastal Glynn County, with 600 ordered to report on Monday and the remainder on deck for next week if needed. The huge jury pool underscores how Arbery's slaying dominated the news, social media feeds and workplace chatter locally.
One woman said her husband and father-in-law know Bryan. Another said she knows Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery Sr. One of the panel members who knows Barnhill said just about everyone in Glynn County has some degree of familiarity with Arbery's death. Court officials have said jury selection could take more than two weeks, and the judge expressed frustration on Tuesday over the slow pace.
