Jury Selection Today In George Case
The legal proceedings swirling around former prominent Pennsylvania retailer and convention organizer Michael George enter a new phase today as jury selection begins for the trial, which includes a murder charge. George is accused of the 1990 slaying of his then-wife Barbara in their Michigan comics shop. The trial has garnered a lot of attention for its "cold case" status -- George was arrested last August -- and the lurid nature of both the crime and some of the racier circumstances prosecutors will enter into evidence as potential motivation. The Detroit News has a classic big-newspaper write-up.
