ST. LOUIS (AP) – People with negative impressions of Missouri Gov. Eric
Greitens are being weeded out of his potential juror pool for a criminal trial.
Jury selection that began Thursday in St. Louis was to continue Friday and
potentially into early next week. Those selected will hear a case accusing
Greitens of felony invasion of privacy for allegedly taking and transmitting a
compromising photo of a woman with whom he was having an affair in 2015.
Greitens has not directly answered questions about whether he took the photo
but has acknowledged an affair and denied criminal wrongdoing.
During jury selection, Greitens’ attorneys have sought to dismiss potential
jurors whose answers to a questionnaire indicated they may have a bias against
the governor.
