The judge talks to possible jurors for the murder trial, which may draw protests.

Greeley – The slow process of picking jurors in the first-degree murder trial of a man accused of killing a transgender woman will continue today, with mounted sheriff’s officers patrolling outside the Weld County Courthouse just in case demonstrators show up.

At least 300 potential jurors were questioned Tuesday by judges and lawyers involved in two murder trials expected to begin this week in Weld District Court.
