Day 1 - motions
It's officially begun. A clean-shaved Jerry Anderson in slacks, a blue shirt and a nice tie was solemn in court Monday morning. He's on trial for his life. The state has charged him with the first-degree murder of his wife Emily Anderson.
Jury selection was supposed to begin today. Twenty-five jurors were given a questionnaire to fill out. The defense and prosecution will review those this afternoon and then jury selection will begin tomorrow.
So far this morning we've heard several motions in court. The most interesting one came from the defense. Anderson's Attorney Lisa Dubs asked for a hearing of jurisdiction, stating the state has not proved a crime actually occurred in North Carolina. The judge denied a hearing of jurisdiction. However, the honorable David S. Cayer said that did not mean the defense can raise the point at the close of state evidence.
Well, I am going to get back at it. I'll try to bring more around lunchtime.
