ROCKWALL, Texas (AP) — Jury selection is beginning at the capital murder trial of a former justice of the peace accused of killing a North Texas district attorney, his wife and a top prosecutor.

Eric Williams faces a possible death sentence for the slayings last year of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and the prosecutor’s wife, Cynthia, at their home in Forney, just east of Dallas. He’s also charged with fatally shooting an assistant prosecutor, Mark Hasse.
