Jurors in the trial of a Major League Baseball executive accused of providing a controlled substance that caused the death of a Los Angeles Angels player in Southlake will likely hear from a witness to whom prosecutors offered immunity in order to testify.
That expected element of evidence was described on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, where a jury of five men and 10 women were selected from a pool of 45 people to hear the drug sales conspiracy case against Eric Kay. The jurors include three alternates.
The potential jurors were asked about their own and relatives' drug use, their experiences as defendants, victims, or witnesses in crimes, and whether they could set aside those experiences as they consider evidence in the Kay case.
