KEEFOVER-NARROWED TO 14 by Matt Unruh

36 potential jurors were called to Barton County District Court Monday, and Keefover said 36 more potential jurors expect to be reviewed Tuesday.

The process will continue until there’s a total of 42 potential jurors passed for cause, and then that group will be narrowed to 14 jurors that will make up the jury for the trial. At that point, the presentation of evidence will begin in the trial.

Keefover estimated that they could have a jury selected by Tuesday or Wednesday.
