A 22-year-old potential juror told the court on Thursday that a video about Armstrong popped up while she was scrolling on TikTok but said it didn't affect her. She'll move on to the final jury selection set for May 31.
A 22-year-old potential juror told the court on Thursday that after making it past the first round of cuts from Tuesday's large panel, she was scrolling on TikTok when a video about Armstrong popped up. Judge Kelli Johnson has ordered potential jurors to break from the news, stay off social media, and not research the case. The woman told the court she watched the video for five to 10 seconds before realizing what it was.
She went on to explain she believed the video was posted by Armstrong's wife, showing photos of the accused killer with his son alongside text stating Armstrong is "innocent." The potential juror testified the photos didn't affect her, and she'll move on to the final jury selection set for May 31. Johnson has made it clear she wants fair and impartial jurors unaffected by outside opinions infiltrating this jury, as the case has been highly publicized over the past seven years.
Dawn and Antonio Sr. were shot to death in their southwest Houston home in July 2016. Armstrong, their son, who was 16 years old at the time, was arrested and charged within hours of the double murder. His two previous trials in 2019 and 2022 ended in mistrials when both juries could not agree on a verdict.
