A pool of 171 potential jurors will be summoned to Lucas County Common Pleas Court on Oct. 11 for the first day of jury selection in the 1967 murder case of Robert Bowman.
Monday, attorneys reviewed a second set of excuses from potential jurors, excusing several. Taking into consideration the typical “no-show” rate, about 110 people are expected to report, court officials said.
Bowman, 75, is to go to trial on a charge of first-degree murder for the slaying of Sylvania Township teenager Eileen Adams. He faces life in prison if convicted.
Bowman’s first trial before Judge Gene Zmuda ended Aug. 23 in a mistrial after a jury of nine women and three men couldn’t reach a consensus.
