Thanks for the info, will be interesting to see what happens.
Thank you for posting! I have been very busy today & haven't had the time...

Oops! Thank you for pointing that out! It was supposed to be February 4th, but that will be the day they do jury selection, but according to Michelle Paynter (WTOC news reporter) it should only be a couple of days after that, and he will have his actual trial. I'll keep everyone posted!

Thank you!

The stage is set for baby Aiden's father to stand trial.
The toddler was abused last year by his mother and prosecutors say his father, Phillip Waller, knew about the abuse and didn't report it.
Today prosecutors and Waller's attorney picked a jury at the Effingham County courthouse. Waller's trial won't start until next month on March 9. http://www.wtoc.com/Global/story.asp?S=9789104&nav=menu89_2
