Defense team contests as jury process begins

Jury selection will begin Tuesday for the murder trial of Jason Allen Rose.

Rose is accused of setting a fire at Boardwalk Apartments in October 2005 that killed three residents and injured several more. The trial will begin after Rose’s attorney attempted to have the charges dropped last week, an effort that Judge Jack A. Murphy denied.

Rose’s defense contended that its client suffered from mental abuse that kept Rose from delivering accurate testimony when he originally confessed to setting the fire.

KU senior Nicole Bingham, 21, along with 33-year-old Yolanda Riddle and 50-year-old Jose Gonzalez, died in the fire.
