Jury selection in the Justin Ross Harris trial is almost done, with Judge Mary Staley qualifying seven more jurors, bringing the total to 38, Atlanta’s WSB-TV reported. Judge Staley wants at least 42 people qualified in order to choose a 12-person jury and four alternates.

As LawNewz.com mentioned earlier this week, one juror no-showed the mandatory appearance, with Judge Staley threatening to send sheriffs after Juror 57 for not being there. Well, the elusive juror returned on Wednesday, only to be interrogated about his background.


It gets worse.


Hard to argue that you would be a responsible juror when you miss your court date, only to be caught hiding your criminal history.

And in case you’re wondering why he didn’t show up to begin with?

Juror 57 did not make the cut.
