Jury selection continues in Entwistle trial

WOBURN, Mass. — Jury selection in the trial of a British man charged with killing his wife and infant daughter is continuing for a fourth day.

Neil Entwistle is accused of fatally shooting his 27-year-old wife, Rachel, and 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose, in their Hopkinton home in January 2006.

Judge Diane Kottmyer today rejected a request by the defense to allow the jury, once seated, to go to the family’s former home in Hopkinton as well as the home of Rachel Entwistle’s mother in Carver.

Many potential jurors have been dismissed after they said they had already formed an opinion about Entwistle’s guilt. A new pool of 70 potential jurors was called in to be questioned on today.

Twelve regular jurors and four alternate jurors will be chosen.
