So - NOT a trial starting....

Can I use you as my "go-to" person for this case? I've lost both people that were helping me on this case. I can not access the court site, but it looks like you can! :)

June 1, 2021

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Wednesday morning in the trial of Christian “Kit” Martin, the former Army major and commercial airline pilot charged with the November, 2015 murders of three neighbors in Pembroke.

Much of the discussion during a hearing Tuesday was focused on a shell casing that matched a gun belonging to Martin which was found on the back porch of the home of Calvin Phillips on South Main Street in Pembroke. Family members were cleaning the home weeks after the scene had been processed when the casing was discovered and defense attorney Tom Griffiths has argued the circumstances of the discovery should negate it as evidence.

After hearing both sides, Judge John Atkins allowed it to be presented during trial, but says the defense will obviously get to question those who found it.

Jury selection started , A juror excused for not liking guns?

Thank you for info - please let me know if any jurors are picked yet - and "when" they might think the trial will start.
 
The arrested suspect's wife was attempting to leave him/get divorced and she was bringing these neighbors into court to support her cause. He was infuriated.
Doesn't the court martial and loss of military pension play into the motive, too?

eta: I read one of the articles that quoted the stepson as saying that his stepfather acted very nice in public but was a monster behind closed doors. I believe this kid.

JMO.
