Both sides of the felony invasion of privacy case against Gov. Eric Greitens appeared for the last time before jury selection starts on Thursday.

Even though it's the day before jury selection, everything is still very fluid with motions still being filed.

Judge Rex Burlison ruled that prosecutors could not call Greitens' former mistress a "victim", since defense attorneys claim they believe no crime was committed, and the mistress never reported the incident to police. The judge says the jury doesn't need the explanation from an expert on how it works. During the hearing, Burlison once again asked the prosecution if they had obtained the photo.

Defense attorneys said it is normal for communication to increase when a person is accused of a felony. Jury selection begins Thursday, and Burlison said he will reconsider if it becomes apparent that an impartial jury can not be seated.
