Carpio jury set, opening arguments tomorrow

PROVIDENCE -- The jury in the trial of Esteban Carpio, charged with killing a police detective last year, was finalized this afternoon.

There were 16 jurors selected. After the trial, the court will randomly pick 12 of them to decide Carpio's fate.

Lawyers for both sides are set to deliver opening arguments tomorrow morning. The jurors were told to report to court at 9:30 a.m.

The defense team plans to argue that Carpio was legally insane at the time he was accused of shooting Det. Sgt. James L. Allen inside police headquarters last year.
