Jury selection began this morning in the historic child-endangerment and sex-abuse case against three clerics from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
As many as 250 prospective jurors will fill out a questionnaire today as part of selection process that could take as long as a month.
Twelve jurors and 10 alternates are expected to be chosen for the trial, whose opening arguments are scheduled for March 26, with Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina presiding.
On trial will be a former church official, a priest and an ex-priest.
