The numbers now: Seven potential jurors were released in the latest strikes, which leaves 11 in the box. There are 21 still to be questioned -- and from those 21, five more are necessary to get the 12 jurors and the likely four alternates. Sources in court say the defense is out of strikes. So ... a jury picked by midday tomorrow ... opening statements first thing Thursday? Maybe.
