A jury was finally selected yesterday in the trial of three men accused of the murder of Jason Smith and the attempted murder of his wife, Tamara.
Defense attorneys for Edney Burrows, of Deveaux Street; Daryl Rolle, of Palm Avenue; and Andre Dieujuste, of Windsor Lane, exhausted the jury pool after making 40 peremptory challenges.
Court bailiffs had to randomly select people off the streets to make up the pool.
Prosecutors allege that the offenses were committed at Cordeaux Avenue on September 13, 2008.
Jillian Williams is the prosecutor. Elliot Lockhart and Terrel Butler represent the defendants.
Senior Justice Jon Isaacs is presiding.
Burrows is the only defendant who is on bail.
