After more than two full weeks, all of the jurors have been chosen in Chester County to hear the trial of accused trooper killer Eric Frein.
The 33-year-old faces murder and terrorism charges for allegedly killing Corporal Bryon Dickson II and shooting Trooper Alex Douglass at the State Police Blooming Grove barracks two and a-half years ago.
After the sniper-style shooting, Frein became one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives, leading police on a 48-day manhunt across the Poconos.
During the jury selection process, Frein's attorneys say their client personally participated in choosing which jurors will decide his fate.
Lawyers estimate the guilt phase of Eric Frein's trial could last between four and five weeks. If he is found guilty, there would also be a penalty phase which could last an additional one to two weeks.
Opening statements and testimony in Frein's trial are still currently on track to begin on Monday, April 3rd in Milford, Pike County.
If convicted, Frein could face the death penalty.
