Jury selection enters seventh day in Faith Hedgepeth murder trial

Original: Jury selection stretches into seventh day in Faith Hedgepeth murder trial

Jury selection in the murder trial of Faith Hedgepeth has stretched into a seventh day, with attorneys still working to seat a panel. Hedgepeth, a University of North Carolina student, was killed in 2012, and the long-delayed case is now moving forward in court. The extended process suggests difficulty finding impartial jurors for a case that drew wide attention.

Why now: The trial of a long-unsolved college murder case is finally underway, and the unusually long jury selection is drawing attention.
