Jury selection to begin in 2002 double slaying

TOPEKA (AP) – Jury selection begins this week for a former Kansas woman accused of killing her ex-husband and his girlfriend nearly a decade ago.

Prosecutors say 51-year-old Dana Chandler fatally shot the two July 7, 2002, after her ex-husband, Mike Sisco, told her he was going to marry his girlfriend, Karen Harkness.

Chandler is facing two counts of premeditated first-degree murder. Prosecutors say 47-year-old Sisco was shot seven times and 53-year-old Harkness was shot five times while they slept.

Chandler was living in Denver at the time of the killings, but was staying in a tiny Oklahoma trailer when she was arrested last July.

Both sides have said there has been no physical evidence linking Chandler to the murders. Jury selection begins Monday and is expected to last at least two days.
