Judge announces tenative trial timeline

The final round of jury selection just began after a slight delay because a handful of jurors were delayed in traffic.

Judge Howard announced this morning he was looking for four alternates -- not six as widely reported prior to the trial -- to go with the 12-member panel.

Also, Howard said he believes the jury could be seated by mid-day Tuesday, putting opening statements on schedule for Wednesday morning.

Attorneys indicated that timeline may be optimistic. But we'll know better by the end of today.
