Trial starts in death of state trooper

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. -- Jury selection in the trial of a man accused of dragging an Illinois State Police trooper to death stretched into a second day after nine jurors were seated Monday.

Circuit Judge Charles Stengel ordered selection to continue today. A jury of 12 and two alternates must be chosen. Jurors should begin hearing testimony Wednesday.

The defendant, Jonathan Posey, 21, of Davenport, Iowa, is charged with one count of first-degree murder, reckless homicide and leaving the scene of an accident. He is accused in the death of Master Sgt. Stanley Talbot, who was killed at a checkpoint last June.
