Jury may be seated Wednesday in Freddie Gray trial in Baltimore
BALTIMORE (AP) — Jury selection has resumed for the trial of William Porter, one of six Baltimore police officers facing criminal charges stemming from the death of Freddie Gray.
After a lunch recess today, Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams called more potential jurors into a private conference room for individual questioning. They are among 75 who reported for duty, the second such group in two days.
Sixty-eight of the prospective jurors today were slated for individual interviews after indicating they might have some sort of bias or medical or personal issue that could disqualify them from service.
Some of the potential jurors screened Monday and today will advance to another round of the process Wednesday. Court spokeswoman Terri Charles says the jury of 12, plus several alternates, may be chosen that day.
