rial for a Delray Beach felon accused of three murders, including the deaths of two children, is coming this fall.
Palm Beach County Circuit Judge John Kastrenakes on Friday scheduled a Sept. 22 court date to determine precisely when to begin jury selection in the high-profile case against Clem Beauchamp, 38.
The State Attorney's Office is seeking the death penalty against Beauchamp for the killings of Jermaine McNeil, 10, Ju'Tyra Allen, 6, and their mother, Felicia Brown, 25.
"I expect everybody ready to go," Kastrenakes told prosecutors and defense attorneys, as Beauchamp sat nearby in the courtroom. "We'll be in trial most of the month of October on this case."
Prosecutors Terri Skiles and Reid Scott estimate it will take about five weeks, if the jury convicts Beauchamp and then considers whether to recommend death or sentences of life in prison.
The last time Beauchamp appeared in court before Friday was Dec. 16, when he pleaded guilty to two unrelated drug crimes from April 2010 and received a three-year prison sentence.
Represented by attorneys Ronald Chapman and Michael Maher, the defendant continues to serve a 10-year federal prison term he received in 2011 for possessing an illegal handgun silencer.
Also in 2011, a Palm Beach County grand jury indicted Beauchamp with three counts of first-degree murder.

The body of Brown, who was Beauchamp's on-and-off girlfriend, was found at a West Palm Beach trash-processing facility in August 2010 and went unidentified until the deaths of her children. Brown had their names tattooed on her leg, leading to her identification.
In March 2011, the decomposing bodies of Jermaine and Ju'Tyra were found, stuffed into luggage, in the canal that divides Delray Beach and Boca Raton. The kids had been living with Beauchamp in his Delray Beach home after Brown's disappearance the previous summer.
During an interrogation by Delray Beach police detectives, Beauchamp insisted he loved the boy and girl as if they were his own kids, according to court records.
"I wouldn't do nothin' like that," Beauchamp said, after he was shown photographs of the children.

Records show Ju'Tyra died of asphyxiation; her face was wrapped in tape. Jermaine died of blunt trauma to his head. According to the indictment, Beauchamp killed Brown by "unspecified means."
Federal prosecutors have alleged Beauchamp may have been motivated to kill Brown because she was a key witness against him in the gun case.
The firearms charge against Beauchamp arose when Brown's car was repossessed from his Delray Beach home in 2009. A tow-yard employee found a black bag containing a .22-caliber revolver and a homemade silencer, and 12 rounds of ammunition.
Brown later told a tow-yard employee the bag was her boyfriend's, according to prosecutors.
