KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) - Jury selection is to begin in the murder trial of a southwestern Michigan couple whose teenage daughter died in a house fire while chained to her bed.
Jurors in the trial of Anthony and Marsha Springer will be chosen from among about 210 people starting Friday in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court.
St. Joseph County Circuit Judge Paul Stutesman will preside over the trial after granting a defense motion for a change of venue in October.
The Springers are charged with felony murder, torture and first-degree child abuse in the February 2008 death of 16-year-old Calista Springer.
Her father has said she had special needs and the tethering was necessary to keep her from leaving her bedroom and their Centreville home at night.
