Two potential jurors were dismissed from the Antonio “AJ” Armstrong Jr. trial after they were questioned by attorneys.
Armstrong is set to sit trial for the third time. Prosecutors say Armstrong shot his parents in July 2016. The shooting occurred at the family’s home in the 5300 block of Palmetto Street in southwest Houston.During the two previous trials, jurors couldn’t reach a unanimous decision, causing a mistrial to be declared.
On Wednesday, attorneys with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and the defense team asked five potential jurors open-ended questions, trying to gauge what they know about the case and if they can be fair and impartial at trial.One person, a 23-year-old man, said he wouldn’t be comfortable sending “a young man” to jail for so long.
