The defence seems to have the edge. At recess, Jake and his advisors review the cards that are left and strategize. In chambers, Buckley strikes all blacks and all men, as if he is reading Jake's mind. Finally, the jury and two alternates are selected. As they fill the jury box, Carl Lee is aghast at an all-white jury of ten women and two men. Of the two alternates, one is a black male. Noose explains to the jury that they will be sequestered in a motel outside of Clanton. By 7:00 p.m., the jurors board a bus for their motel.
