FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The judge in the Parkland mass shooting trial appeared to start the jury selection process from scratch Monday, scrapping two weeks of work and telling more 200 jurors who survived the first round of screening that their services will no longer be required.
Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer is now telling new potential jurors the trial will not begin until June 21, a little over a week after her last released schedule.
The judge on Monday granted a motion from the prosecution to reboot the proceedings, a request that came after 11 improperly dismissed jurors were simply never told they were being ordered back to the courtroom to answer additional questions about their ability to follow the law on the case.
