Opening statements in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial will be on MONDAY, per judge. 18 person jury has officially been chosen; 12 women and 6 men. All will listen to the case, but only 12 chosen randomly will deliberate. #WBZ
Some photos from the courtroom today as jury selection continues in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial. So far, 17 jurors have been selected. Eighteen are needed (including six alternates).
Clancy is sitting in the witness box as potential jurors approach the judge's bench. They have each filled out questionnaires and are asked additional questions by the judge, prosecution, and defense.
My colleague, Grace Wong, is in the courtroom and tells me Clancy, who is paralyzed, has two nurses with her in the courtroom in case she needs medical help.
Assuming jury selection continues as it has this week, opening statements could be as soon as tomorrow or Friday.

Kouri Richins' attorneys have filed a motion asking a judge to reschedule her sentencing date from May 13 to the week of June 15.
Defense attorney Wendy Lewis says the request is being made for the following reasons:
1. The defense needs additional time to research and prepare mitigation evidence and witnesses for Richins, given that she will either serve 25 years to life in prison or life without the possibility of parole.
2. The defense needs an entire day to present witnesses and evidence, rather than the half-day that is currently scheduled.
3. Defense attorney Kathryn Nester recently had a death in the family and does not have time to prepare for the May hearing. She is also scheduled to be out of the country for the first two weeks in June.
4. Defense attorney Alex is scheduled to be in another trial from May 11-15.
Judge Richard Mrazik has not ruled on the motion.

#DanMarkel’s family releases statement about #DonnaAdelson’s sentencing hearing.
————————————-
During sentencing, our family listened in disbelief to the disrespectful and delusional statements made by both Donna and Harvey Adelson before Donna’s sentencing for the first-degree murder and other convictions of our son and brother, Dan Markel.
Contrary to Donna’s claims, she never mourned the loss of Danny’s life, nor did she ever express concern for his sons losing their father. Testimony at her trial showed her callous indifference to his murder — including written evidence that she dismissed the very idea that the boys could be sad or miss their dad.
It is deeply unfortunate that Harvey used his time before the court to challenge our family’s account of our relationship with Ben and Lincoln. We will set the record straight, as we have in court and elsewhere: our family was cut off from contact with the boys for six full years — from the moment authorities implicated Adelson family members in Danny’s murder until one hour after the Florida Legislature passed the Markel Act. Since then, our interactions have been limited, mainly through Wendi’s supervised Zoom calls, and short visits. Wendi refuses to share their address, and gifts that we send must be mailed to her lawyer’s office. We were uninvited to Benjamin’s bar mitzvah following Charlie’s arrest and never invited to Lincoln’s. We grieve the years lost — and the years ahead — without independent, and direct contact with them.
Beyond her crimes, Donna scorned Danny, drove deliberate wedges between him and Wendi, and disparaged him to his own sons. Her display of emotion before the court was not remorse for Danny’s death, but sorrow for the consequences she now faces for causing it.
We thank the court, prosecutors, jurors, and law enforcement for their steadfast commitment to bringing justice to Donna Adelson for her role in this terrible crime.
