Jury selection process in Anchorage finalized for Waterman trial
From Ballotpedia
January 24, 2011
Alaska: On January 24, 2011 the jury for the Waterman trial was finalized after some difficulty finding impartial members for selection.[1]
Judge William Carey, the presiding judge in the case, moved the trial to Anchorage after concluding it would be difficult to seat an impartial jury in Ketchikan, Alaska.[2]
This case is a revisitation of the State of Alaska v. Rachelle Waterman case, which Patricia Collins presided over in January and February 2006.
- The first trial, which ended in a hung jury in 2006, involved the alleged plot of Rachelle Waterman to murder her mother, Lauri Waterman.[3] Two of Rachelle Waterman's former boyfriends, Jason Arrant and Brian Radel, pled guilty to and were convicted of, the killing of Lauri Waterman while Rachelle Waterman was out of town with her father on November 14, 2004.[4]
