Aspseter jury chosen in Monroe County; testimony planned to start Monday
Fifteen jurors have been chosen, and testimony is scheduled to begin Monday in the Monroe County murder trial of Thomas Aspseter.
The jury selection took place on Friday in Sparta, and the actual trial could last a full week, through September 2nd.
Aspseter is accused of killing his grandmother’s husband, Bernard Waite, and injuring his grandmother and a second man during an ax attack in a Sparta house last year.
Police say Aspseter broke into the house and waited for the victims to come home from a road trip, after he was thrown out of the house.
