Faith Hedgepeth murder trial jury selection enters seventh day

Original: Jury selection in Faith Hedgepeth murder trial stretches into 7th day

Jury selection in the murder trial of Faith Hedgepeth continued into a seventh day in North Carolina. Hedgepeth, a University of North Carolina student, was killed in Chapel Hill in 2012, and the long-running case drew renewed attention after an arrest nearly a decade later. The extended selection process is drawing local coverage as prosecutors and defense attorneys work to seat a panel.

Why now: The trial marks a major step in a decade-old cold case that drew wide attention, so its progress is being closely followed.
