Jury selection moving ahead
Posted Mar05, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Jury selection for William Morva's trial has recessed for lunch with 19 potential jurors chosen for the case - 13 yesterday and six today.
Again today, the death penalty has proved to be an issue for potential jurors. Of the 32 who have been questioned so far, six have been dismissed because of their pro-death penalty feelings and four because they are against the death penalty.
Two have been dismissed because they would give added weight to law enforcement officers' testimony and another because she said she couldn't put aside what she has already heard about the case.
