BROOKHAVEN Jurors will be chosen from northern Mississippi later this year and taken to the southern part of the state for the death penalty trial of a man charged with killing two police officers in 2018.
Circuit Judge Richard McKenzie ruled Thursday that jury selection will begin Nov. 8 in Lafayette County for the trial of Marquis Flowers, the Daily Leader reported.
Jurors will be taken about 345 miles south for the trial in Pike County. The killings occurred in Lincoln County, which is just north of Pike.
