According to one tweeter "122 jurors were called today. they’ve taken their pool of 21 back for individual voir dire."

Edit to add: A Jury is 12 jurors. A tweet mentioned 13 being selected, so my guess is one alternate will be selected as usual. A very important and time consuming portion of the trial.
