Michael George Re-Trial Begins With Jury Selection

Local media sources report that the Clinton Township, Michigan trial of prominent retailer and convention organizer Michael George got underway yesterday with jury selection. George is on trial for the 1990 murder of his then-wife Barbara George in their comic book store. He was convicted in 2008 of first-degree murder but that decision was reversed later that year due to malfeasance on the prosecution side. That reversal was challenged and stood up in higher court; George's motion to dismiss, however, was denied. This is the retrial.

The trial has been well-publicized for the lurid nature of the crime, its unique setting and the fact that George was retried from a cold case based on gathering and putting together information that wasn't new scientific evidence.
