Update On Jason Van Dyke Trial!

Ten jurors have been sworn in for the trial of Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke and Thursday, the judge could rule on a change of venue motion.

Also, Van Dyke will likely decide Thursday if he wants to be judged by a jury of his peers or by a Cook County judge. Van Dyke needs to decide by the 12th juror if he wants a bench trial.

So far, there is only one black juror on the panel, a woman who works as a FedEx driver in her 50s. She said she has seen the dash cam video of Van Dyke shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. She said she couldn't say that Van Dyke was guilty.
