Jury Chosen For Brown Weapons, Conspiracy Trial

Couple Faces 11 Charges In Connection With Standoff
CONCORD, N.H. -- Fifteen jurors have been chosen for the latest trial involving Ed and Elaine Brown. The Browns, who were convicted of tax evasion in January 2007, face 11 charges relating to a standoff that began during the trial. Nearly 200 jurors were delivered to the federal courthouse in Concord at 8 a.m. Monday. By 2 p.m., the group had been narrowed down to a jury of 12, plus three alternates. The jury pool was tripled in an effort to seat a panel that had not been tainted by intense media coverage. Each juror was asked three questions and 40 percent of the potential jurors were dismissed based on media exposure to the case.
