Huguely jury nearly selected; openings next

Published



CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A second day of jury selection in the trial of a University of Virginia lacrosse player from Chevy Chase accused of killing his former girlfriend ended Tuesday without a panel of 12 jurors and three alternates being chosen to hear the case.

Judge Edward Hogshire and the attorneys in the case narrowed the group of 160 prospective jurors who received summons to 28 qualified jurors in the trial of George Huguely V. One of those jurors is expected to be dismissed because she has travel plans; the final jury will be selected from the remaining 27.
