Jury Pool for Dylann Roof shooting

Oh, well I was wrong yesterday. The latest on the State's Roof trial, which is set for the week of July 11, 2016:

"On Wednesday, [South Carolina] circuit judge JC Nicholson issued an order saying a jury pool of 600 was needed because of the complexity of the case.
The judge also ordered that questionnaires that will be used to screen potential jurors remain sealed until they are given to members of the jury pool on 28 June.
Members of the pool will then report back to the court in groups of 20 to be questioned by attorneys the day the trial is set to begin. Attorneys have said the trial is expected to last several weeks."

Like they don't expect for everyone to vote guilty as charged, whether they call in 6, 60, or 600.
