MIAMI -- An unusually large group of 3,000 Miami-area residents will be the starting point for jury selection in the highly publicized terrorism support trial next year of alleged al-Qaida operative Jose Padilla and two others.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke said Thursday that jury duty letters will go out in mid-November to start a process that will ultimately produce 12 jurors and several alternates to try the case, currently scheduled to begin Jan. 22. The trial is expected to last several months. For the complete story,(here)
It has been a long time in coming. Jose will get his day in court next year, 2007.
