Josh Duggar trial: Jury selection has been completed with 12 jurors and 4 alternates: LIVE UPDATES

The jury selection for Josh Duggar's child pornography trial has been completed. 12 main jurors were chosen along with four alternates, according to local outlet 5 News Online.

The potential jurors were asked if they could be impartial towards Duggar due to his fame from "19 Kids and Counting."

“This case has nothing to do with the show," Judge Timothy Brooks said, according to a reporter for The Sun. "It’s important I ask if there is a possibility of exposure to the show that could have shown strong feelings towards Mr Duggar or the family, positive or negative."

"It can affect your ability to be impartial. This is important and is something everyone needs to know about. It doesn’t make you disqualified if you watch one episode or come across a simple post provided you are capable of being a fair and impartial juror," he added.

The jurors were also warned that the case involved child pornography, "also known as sex abuse material," according to The Sun. They were told the trial would include graphic images and graphic descriptions of body parts, sex acts and child sex abuse material.

The trial is set to begin on Wednesday, Dec. 1.

On Tuesday, the government opposed the request from Josh Duggar's attorneys to prohibit witness Bobye Holt's testimony.

In new court documents obtained by Fox News, an assistant United States attorney claimed Bobye Holt's testimony should not be prevented by "clergy privilege," as Duggar's attorneys claimed.

The government argues that Holt is “not clergy or a church leader…She is simply a long-time family friend of the defendant and the mother of the girl he was dating when he molested Jane Does 1 through 4."

"The defendant is asking the Court to adopt an interpretation of the clergy-penitent privilege that is so unprecedently overbroad as to render it unenforceable. The crux of his claim is that Mrs. Holt, who firmly disavowed having a position in the church or any privileged relationship with the defendant, was nevertheless clergy for purposes of the privilege because he confided in her and they prayed together, or because her husband was an ‘elder’ in that church, or because of some combination of these factors and unevidenced inferences," the court papers continue.

Josh Duggar's cousin says she hopes the judge imposes the "ultimate sentence" against him in his child pornography trial which began on Tuesday.

In a statement posted to her Instagram account, Amy King wrote, "Today is a heavy day. This whole week will be. Next week will be too. Until justice is served.

"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, I will repay thee. Please pray for the victims, and for the truth to be revealed. Pray that the judge will give the ultimate sentence."

Duggar, 33, was arrested in Arkansas in late April. He is facing two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography. He has pleaded not guilty.

Josh Duggar’s attorneys filed court documents on Tuesday, the day his trial is set to begin, requesting a judge prohibit a witness’s testimony.

On Monday, Nov. 29, the court held an evidentiary hearing which featured government witnesses Bobye Holt and Josh’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, delivering testimony. According to the supplemental brief, Josh’s attorneys argue that information Bobye shared consisted of conversations protected by clergy privilege.

“The testimony adduced by the parties at the evidentiary hearing reveals that any statements made to Bobye Holt and/or Jim Holt by Duggar or Jim Bob Duggar were made to them in their capacity as spiritual advisors with the expectation that the communications would be kept confidential.”

“As such, any such statements are shielded from disclosure by the clergy privilege and, therefore, Duggar respectfully requests that this Court prohibit the Government from eliciting any further testimony from Bobye concerning these purported conversations,” the docs continue.

Josh Duggar was joined by his wife, Anna Duggar, as he made his way into the John Paul Hammerschmidt Federal Courthouse in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Tuesday.

In a video shared to Twitter of his entrance into the court, Josh, 33, can be seen wearing a navy suit. He was holding hands with his wife, who was donning a black dress. Both were wearing face coverings.

Former "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar is set to stand trial on Tuesday for child pornography charges. After years of appearing in the reality show, Duggar made headlines in 2015 when news broke that he reportedly molested a number of young girls, including his sisters. Now, he will face a judge on charges brought against him in April after allegedly possessing images of young children.

Duggar, 33, was arrested in Arkansas in late April. U.S. Marshals "assisted" in the arrest. He is facing two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography. He has pleaded not guilty.

If convicted on all counts, Duggar faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 on each count. Fines could total $500,000.

It's currently unclear who may take the stand during the trial, but an attorney said that Duggar's father Jim Bob may do so. Duggar was released from jail in May. Magistrate Judge Christy Comstock ordered Duggar to be confined to the home of family friends who have agreed to be his custodian during his release and prohibited Duggar from any Internet-accessible devices pending his trial.
