Prosecutors and defendant Frazier Glenn Cross, also known as Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., have spent the week trying to cull 17 jurors from a pool of 200. The jury is made up of eight women and nine men including five alternates.
Opening statements are planned Monday.
The Aurora, Missouri,man has publicly admitted firing the shots that killed 69-year-old William Corporon, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood and 53-year-old Terri LaManno on April 13th, 2014. The 74-year-old avowed white supremacist says he didn’t know none of the victims was Jewish.
Miller is representing himself in a case that could result in the death penalty. Johnson County Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan has warned him that any outbursts in front of jurors could result in a mistrial.
His courtroom behavior during the weeklong jury selection process has been more subdued than at earlier hearings.
