According to a recent Bloomberg report, Judge St. Eve, as of lunchtime, had questioned 29 potential jurors, with nine more to go in the afternoon session. If the day goes on schedule, the prosecution and defense will present (or are presenting) any juror challenges, as based upon the questioning done by the judge but not any further questioning. Once the challenges are over with, the jury, including those eight alternates, will be selected.
[UPDATE: According to Stephen Skurka, the judge's questioning was finished as of 4 PM EDT. ]
Media Watch: The trial has gotten the notice of The Economist, and an online version of a Hong Kong newspaper, The Standard. The latter source describes the three potential jurors who lost as a result of earlier corporate implosions - one losing money on Enron, one whose husband lost on the stock market, and one who lost his pension two years before retirement - as "sore losers."
