HOT SPRINGS — Jury selection has begun for the capital-murder trial of a Pearcy man charged in the shooting death of a Hot Springs woman.
The Sentinel-Record reported that jury selection began Wednesday in Garland County Circuit Court for the trial of 56-year-old Randy William Gay. The process is expected to take until Friday.
Gay is charged in the May 2011 shooting death of 49-year-old Connie Snow on U.S. Forest Service property in Jessieville, and prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty. Gay has pleaded innocent.
A previous trial ended in mistrial after a jury was seated but before opening statements were made when Judge John Homer Wright found that unspecified juror misconduct had occurred.
