Jury selection started this morning at every breakfast table in the city. Hello. In an American movie Alex Cullen kills three people. The next day attorney Kevin offers his services to him but Alex is not sure if he can trust him. Kevin: You don't have time to shop, Mr. Cullen. Jury selection started this morning at every breakfast table in the city. This is what people know: Three dead bodies. The movie is set in New York, late '90s. Could you tell me what "Jury selection started this morning at every breakfast table in the city" means, please? The line just doesn't make any sense to me. Why did jury selection start at EVERY breakfast table? Who started it? Thank you.
