Jury selection begins today in the trial of Curtis Vance.  Vance is accused of the rape and murder of KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly.  David Koon will be on hand.  We’ll have more on the trial as things develop.

UPDATE: It was a long day of juror interviews today.  Interviews will likely continue through tomorrow with the trial starting on Wednesday.  KARK is reporting that two jurors have been seated.  It looks like Judge Chris Piazza has put an end to reporters twittering from the courtroom.  Normally active Twitter streams, like Fox 16’s David Goins and KATV’s Amanda Manatt are noticably silent today.
