Box and Michael Gross, Cox\u2019s attorney said they don\u2019t want her plea mentioned during trial. Blackwell said it was doubtful she\u2019d testify.<\/p>\n The rest of the morning was spent selecting a jury.<\/p>\n Biery read parts of the indictment but then added the government must prove what\u2019s in the indictment is true, likening it to a driver being handed a ticket for speeding.<\/p>\n \u201cThat doesn\u2019t make you guilty. You can fight it. This is just a piece of paper; it is not evidence,\u201d he told potential jurors.<\/p>\n After Biery and the three attorneys asked the jury pool questions to determine if they would have a bias, the judge dismissed most of the jury pool, keeping 15. The judge and attorneys then huddled to the side of the judge\u2019s bench to quietly ask each of the 15 more questions about their fitness to serve.<\/p>\n The afternoon session was expected to finish jury selection and start opening arguments.<\/p>\n Check back later in the day for an update to this story as LubbockLights.com Editor Terry Greenberg reports from the federal courtroom in San Antonio.<\/p>\n Help Lubbock Lights bring you Ferrum trial coverage<\/p>\n People in Lubbock have followed the Ferrum Capital case since it began. <\/p>\n We were the first locally to report on the Ferrum Capital story and since have done more than 40 stories. Why? These are some of the most-read stories on our site.\u00a0So, if it\u2019s important to you then it\u2019s important to us.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a challenge. The trial is not in Lubbock, but San Antonio and expected to last three weeks. Lubbock Lights doesn\u2019t have a travel budget because the stories we do are almost all in Lubbock.<\/p>\n We plan to cover the Ferrum Capital trial from Friday\u2019s pre-trial hearing to a verdict with stories every day if warranted. We plan to stay at a midscale hotel close to the courthouse and expect it will cost at least $4,000 for hotels and gas. We\u2019d appreciate contributions in any amount and we are a 501(c)3.<\/p>\n So far, we\u2019ve raised just over $930, or 23 percent of our goal! Thanks to those who\u2019ve donated.<\/p>\n Thanks for your consideration, and even if you decide not to donate, we still invite you to help us get the word out.\u00a0<\/p>\n Terry Greenberg
