In court Tuesday, Boone seemed to be focused and was taking notes during jury selection.
She also had, what some would say, an interesting snack request including:
- 2 juice packs
- 2 bags of chips
- A bag of candy
- A Pop-tart
- 5 peppermints
According to Boone's attorney, she needs these snacks to keep her energy high for court, however that request has not yet been granted by the court.
Court is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
