NORWICH – Jury selection will continue today in the case against Michael A. Victor Jr. Seven jurors – 5 men and 2 women – were seated to the panel Tuesday out of a pool of approximately 50.

Of those who reported, 18 were excused from duty at their request, for a variety of reasons. Another 22 were dismissed as a result of preemptory challenges made by either the prosecution or defense following a battery of questions asked by each side.

A second panel has been summoned to report today, from which an additional 5 jurors and 2 alternates need to be selected in order for the trial to commence. The proceedings are expected to take two weeks.
