The jury for the Jodi Arias resentencing phase is expected to be chosen by next week.

A pool of 400 potential jurors has gradually been narrowed down.

Jury selection is expected to wrap up on Thursday with opening statements set to start next week, reported KPHO.

Video coverage of the trial won’t be allowed--video can be recorded but not shown until after the trial is over--making Twitter and other social media websites a prime source of information during the trial. 

“I think when people follow different reporters’ accounts of what’s going on, they'll get a really good picture of everything,” Jen Wood, an expert on the case, told the broadcaster.

“Somebody might pick up on one thing, while another person might pick up on something else.”

Wood also said that interest in the case is still high despite the mandate against live TV coverage. 

“It’s appealing because it has religion, and the sex, and the fact he’s a young man and she’s a young woman that is very pretty,” said Wood. “It just has this cast of people that the public is really intrigued by.”
