| Four more added to jury pool April 16, 2004 Four new County residents were qualified as jurors. Eighteen will be chosen as jurors and alternates, and will sit through a trial expected to last five or six months. JUROR 18106 - NOW JUROR #8 -A man who works for a truck company and works the graveyard shift at his job; A portly, jovial white man who appears to be in his 50s. He's a Teamster who went through a messy divorce and works the graveyard shift doing "field audits." His in-laws sued him and he had "a problem" with a restraining order his ex-wife sought against him in connection with the divorce. Both issues were settled. He's heard people talking about Peterson's case "at the track," but said work and sleep left him little time to follow it. *************************** JUROR 17901 - NOW JUROR #12 -A social worker who handles adoptions; Wearing black and has long blonde hair, A white woman and member of the Executive Women's Golf Association who appears to be in her 30s or 40s is divorced or widowed. A former social worker who handled child abuse cases, she now works in adoptions. She has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice but has mixed views of law enforcement, saying some police approached child abuse cases with little commitment. She now handles adoptions for the County social services agency and told the court she used to investigate child- abuse cases. She wrote on her survey that her experiences working with law enforcement on those cases were not always good, but assured prosecutor Rick Distaso she did not have bias against police officers. **************************** -A young man working on a graduate degree in geology; A young man with dark hair and sideburns who is a clerical worker for U.S. Probation, the department that handles probation for federal convicts. He said his mother has strong opinions about the case and has expressed them since he was called for jury duty, which attracted Geragos' attention. But the man allayed the aggressive defense attorney's fears. "I'm an individual," he said. "It won't affect me at all." **************************** -A woman who works in the billing department at a hospital were qualified Thursday.
