Will soon see how many of the 750 show up, jury pool being drawn from here to the NWT border. And it’s -33C w/windchill. #Sask #coltenboushieby Jason Warick via twitter 1/29/2018 3:28:14 PM

A few hundred people in the room so far. Tough to say how many of the 750 will actually show up. Also tough to say how long this process will take.by Charles Hamilton via twitter 1/29/2018 3:29:16 PM

Today is officially the first day of the trial. But it's unlikely we will get into any opening statements or testimony. This could be a long day of jury selection. Stay tuned.
