It took more than two days, but a jury has been chosen in the case against Rev. Joseph Maurizio.
The selection process began Wednesday, when the judge excused 45 potential jurors. Many of those men and women said they could not be impartial in the trial.
Maurizio is accused of making mission trips to Honduras where he paid to have sex with orphans.
The priest from Somerset County claims he is innocent. His attorneys say the charity Maurizio was working with became angry after the priest broke off ties and accused the group of fabricating these stories.
