First jurors seated in trial of Chicago cop who shot teen

CHICAGO (AP) — Jury selection began Monday in the murder trial of a white Chicago police officer who shot a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, 16 times. If the pace of proceedings on the first day was any indication, it could be a while before testimony begins.

Prosecutors and attorneys for Officer Jason Van Dyke agreed on two jurors, a white woman who said she worked as a record keeper and wanted to see evidence before forming an opinion and a Hispanic mother of three young children who said she could be fair and respects police officers.

"I think they just do their job," the Hispanic woman told the court.

Others, though, acknowledged that it would be difficult to be fair and impartial because of what they know about the 2014 shooting.
