Jury selection for Cross trial expected to last all week
Miller has admitted that he gunned down a woman, man and teenager outside of two Jewish centers in Overland Park, Kansas. All three of the victims were Christian.
Miller is representing himself in a case that could result in the death penalty.
Cross has also said he wants a public court forum to explain his actions.
Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., a 74-year-old avowed white supremacist, has publicly acknowledged firing the shots that killed 69-year-old William Corporon; his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood; and 53-year-old Terri LaManno on April 13, 2014, in Johnson County, Kansas.
He asked people in the galley if they liked his tie.
During pretrial hearings, Miller made disparaging remarks about the judge, prosecutors and witnesses who testified. The judge ruled no.
The jury has been narrowed down to 200 before exemptions.
Miller fired his three attorneys in May, saying the only way he would get a chance to speak during the trial was if he represented himself.
Miller offered to plead guilty in return for not getting a death penalty if he’s allowed to make a statement about why he committed the murders.
Attorneys observing the case said Judge Ryan will only give Cross a little leeway for bad behavior now that jurors have arrived.
Jury selection could last one week.
