Jury selection restarting in Morva case
Posted Mar05, 2008 at 08:39 AM
The second day of jury selection in William Morva's capital murder trial in Abingdon is about to get underway. Dozens of Washington Couny residents are pouring into the courthouse to be questioned, and court was scheduled to get underway at 9 a.m.
It's expected to take all day to select the remaining 11 people needed to get the required pool of 24. Once that pool is chosen, it will be winnowed down to a group of 12 jurors and two alternates, with the prosecution and the defense each able to strike five jurors without cause.
Prosecutors are expected to begin calling witnesses Thursday.
