Jury selected for trial of Abu Ghraib abuse ringleader

A 10-MAN jury was selected yesterday in the military trial of the accused ringleader in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, Specialist Charles Graner.

Opening statements were scheduled to begin on Monday in the court-martial of Spc Graner, the first soldier to be tried in the case.

The jury is comprised of four officers and six enlisted men. Two prospective jurors were dismissed, including one who said he was embarrassed as an army officer after seeing photos of the abuse.
