Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The lengthy jury selection process has started today for the retrial of the Island's suspended Attorney General.

Deemster Birkett is presiding over the trial which is expected to last two weeks.

Stephen Harding, of Glen Vine, is accused of perjury and acts against public justice.

The original trial ended in December when the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict.

Today will see a seven person jury selected with proceedings set to officially get underway tomorrow morning.
