The Latest: Jury Selection Begins For 2 Officers

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An attorney prosecuting two former police officers charged with second-degree murder in the 2014 shooting of a homeless man has asked potential jurors with law enforcement ties whether they could be fair and impartial in deciding the case. Opening statements and testimony in the trial for now-retired Detective Keith Sandy and former Officer Dominique Perez are scheduled to get underway next week. Jury selection in the case began Monday. In her opening remarks to prospective jurors, special prosecutor Randi McGinn said the issue of shootings by police has become "one of the most polarizing issues of our time." The court faces the challenge of seating an impartial jury in a case that received extensive media attention when 38-year-old James Boyd was fatally shot two years ago following a hillside standoff with more than a dozen officers.
