For murder trial of Auburn police officer, lawyers probe jurors' views on deadly force

King County Superior Court officials have called an unusually large jury pool to consider what could be a significant case involving police use of deadly force — the murder trial of Auburn police officer Jeffrey Nelson.

Court spokesperson Amy Roe said between the length of the trial and the controversial focus, the court had to nearly triple the normal jury pool and call more than 300 people. She said 80 to 120 jurors are called for a typical criminal trial.
