A jury is now set for trial of former police officer Mohamed Noor who is charged for shooting and killing Justine Ruszczyk Damond, according to CBS Minnesota.
KARE 11 reported that the selection for the jury was prolonged after concerns that jury members were not fit to judge the trial without bias or other inclinations. The jury currently has 10 men and two women, six of them being people of color, while two men and two women serve as alternates, according to KARE 11.
Noor, 33, was charged with the murder and manslaughter of Damond in 2017 after she had called 911, 5 Eye Witness News reported. Damond had approached Noor's vehicle when she was shot.
Opening statements for the trial are scheduled for Tuesday morning.
