Former Fall River Mayor Trial Starts With Jury Selection

This morning at 9am, the trial of former Mayor Jasiel F Correia got underway, with Judge Douglas P. Woodlock spending the better part of 25 minutes addressing the jury pool on matters such as, pandemic safety protocols, and the very important role of jurors in the proceedings.
Judge Woodlock gave the jury pool stern instructions; "You are to base your decisions solely on the evidence presented in this court room," alluding to the broad media coverage the matter has drawn.
Juror Voire Dires were done off camera, and will continue throughout the afternoon.
