Lots of calls and e-mails from folks wondering about the status of the Doug Grant murder case, which we recently wrote about in a two-part series.
A 16-person jury (including alternates) has been picked, and opening statements are scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, in the downtown Phoenix courtoom of Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Margaret Mahoney.
