JOHNSTOWN — A panel of 70 jurors from five counties spent Tuesday in federal court as part of the selection process for the Rev. Joseph Maurizio Jr.’s sexual abuse trial scheduled to begin Thursday.

At the end of the day, 25 prospective jurors were told to come back to District Judge Kim Gibson’s courtroom Thursday for the final juror selection. Today, another panel of about 70 jurors will repeat the process. On Thursday the two smaller groups of jurors chosen during the two days will combine into a jury pool. The final 12 jurors and four alternates will be chosen by the prosecution and the defense teams from that group. Those people will decide the fate of the suspended 69-year-old Central City priest.
