Peterson Trial Begins
by TChris
The first stage of Scott Peterson's murder trial -- jury selection -- began today as prospective jurors filled out lengthy questionairres. The precise content of the questionairres has not been disclosed, but the one-hundred-plus questions apparently include "whether they read Field and Stream magazine, what stickers grace their car bumpers and whether they've ever lost a child."
Potential jurors in Peterson's case will eventually be questioned individually by prosecutors and defense lawyers, outside the presence of other potential jurors. Jury selection is expected to take four to six weeks.
