Oct. 31--One potential juror said his wife was a personal friend of the slain detective. Another said she just couldn't find care for her young daughter.
But despite a few dozen more people who could not spare the time from work, the rest of the 60 potential jurors polled so far have said they could be fair and impartial in the murder trial of 15-year-old Robert Jobe.
Charged in the shooting death of Toledo police vice Detective Keith Dressel, the Jobe youth faces aggravated murder and murder charges.
Yesterday, jury selection continued in Lucas County Common Pleas Court on the second day of his anticipated two-to-three-week trial.
Throughout the day, Judge Charles Doneghy, who is presiding over the case, reminded potential jurors that the North Toledo teenager is presumed innocent.
He added that only evidence presented in court, and not any information gathered from local media, could be considered before a jury could render a verdict.
