Jury Selection Set to Begin for Murder Trial Monday - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock

For the second time jury selection will begin in the murder trial of Saul Mendez.

Mendez's murder trial is starting over after an outburst in the courtroom led to a mistrial on Tuesday.

He is accused of fatally stabbing Ozell Craft Junior, last September.

Just hours into the trial Tuesday, a witness testified that Mendez tried to kill her on the day of Craft's murder.

Judge Brad Underwood said that statement violated the defendant's right to a fair trial.

Jury selection is set to begin again Monday morning.
