The trial of a man accused of hitting a toddler who died a week later has been delayed


HENRIETTA — No jury was selected Friday for the trial of a Dean man accused of beating a toddler who died a week later, Clay County District Clerk Marianne Bowles said.

The trial of Joshua Thomas Fulbright, 23, of Dean is not being held this week since an attempt to seat a jury was unsuccessful Friday at the Clay County Courthouse.


Seems strange - would they not continue on Monday to select a jury or am I reading this article wrong.... or they are continuing with jury selection?? o_O
 
another article on what happened with jury selection.

Trial delayed after unsuccessful jury selection

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — After attorneys were unable to seat a jury from the first pool, the trial of Joshua Fulbright is still being delayed.

The district clerks office says 325 potential jurors were summoned, and from that pool, 80 were selected for questioning as prospective jurors.

But, after strikes and disqualifications, there were not enough remaining to assure 12 jurors and 2 alternates. Now, more will have to be summoned for the next attempt, which has not been determined.
