Jury selection set in Brigham City murder trial
Text 
BRIGHAM CITY -- A week of jury selection has been scheduled in the death penalty murder trial of Glenn Howard Griffin here next month.
On Oct. 22, the judge, prosecutors and defense attorneys will begin interviewing 45 prospective jurors a day, likely individually in the judge's chambers, to make sure they're "death-penalty qualified."
Deadline for the final selection of the 12-member jury is set for Oct. 29, according to the case docket. A gag order has been in place for more than a year banning officials from talking about the case.
The trial is scheduled to run through early December, held in Logan pursuant to defense concerns about pre-trial publicity locally.
Griffin, 57, is accused of the murder of Bradley Newell Perry on May 26, 1984, as Perry worked the graveyard shift at a convenience store. Police say the killing escalated from a disagreement over correct change.
