Prosecutors and defense attorneys chose 5 men and 7 women as the primary jurors, with 3 women and 1 man as alternates. A further breakdown of the jurors is expected from the court later this afternoon.

After hearing opening arguments Friday morning, the jury will travel to the scene of the crime at the former Mercy Hospital, which is now a nursing school.
