63 potential jurors have emerged from Day 1 of screening for the upcoming trail of Michael Rafferty. Rafferty, who has been behind bars for nearly 3 years, faces charges of first degree murder, kidnapping and sexual assault against 8-year-old Tori Stafford in April of 2009. Some 224 men and women were screened on Monday with 63 moving on to the next stage later this week. The selection of those potential jurors will continue today. Rafferty's Lawyer, Dirk Derstine spoke with media briefly outside the London courthouse and says his client's state of mind is unchanged knowing he may be going to trial as soon as Monday. "You can only imagine if you were facing a case of this nature, of this magnitude and you were coming up to your trial day how you would feel and he is no different than anybody else." Derstine says potential jurors selected still have appear before a jury panel, and will be asked a series of questions. The crown and defence will have to decide whether they are acceptable or not.
