Eight of the 16 jurors needed were selected Monday.
SPRINGFIELD -- Jury selection resumes today in the trial of Adam Lee Hall, the 36-year-old Peru resident charged with a Berkshire county triple murder.
Eight jurors -- half the total needed -- were selected Monday.
Among questions posed to people individually by Hampden Superior Court Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder Monday is whether hearing evidence that the victims were dismembered -- and seeing graphic photos of the victims -- would prevent them from being impartial jurors.
Hall was a ranking member of the local Hells Angels chapter when prosecutors say he, David Chalue, 46, of North Adams, and Caius Veiovis, 32, of Pittsfield, kidnapped David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell from Glasser and Frampton's Pittsfield home sometime in the early hours of Aug. 28, 2011, and then killed them. The victims’ remains were later discovered buried in a shallow pit on private property in Becket.
Hall is being tried first. Hampden Superior Court Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder is specially assigned to the case.
The trial was moved to Hampden Superior Court after defense lawyers said publicity in Berkshire County would make a fair trial impossible.
