Jury selection: Long? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely. Boring? That, too -- most definitely. In the meantime, though, plenty of time to look around and make notes: Judge Ric Howard, black-stone ring on his right hand, cracking his knuckles, yikes, that microphone sure picks stuff up, Couey and his little hands and that pencil of his, erasing, head down, six art-deco type lights hanging from the ceiling above Howard's head, a Florida flag, an American flag, high wood walls, bright fluorescent lights, "WE WHO LABOR HERE SEEK ONLY TRUTH." About to be back from lunch here.
