Lawyers on Wednesday added two more people to the jury for the conspiracy and child sex-abuse trial of three current or former Archdiocese of Philadelphia priests.
After an eighth day of screening, prosecutors and defense attorneys had chosen six men and six women for the panel.
Lawyers for both sides still need to pick 10 alternate jurors, who could be tapped if any of the original 12 were disqualified or forced to leave the case. That process could extend into next week.
The trial is projected to last between three and four months.
