HALIFAX — The jury at the trial of a Halifax man accused of killing a popular yoga instructor was selected Tuesday, as Nicholas Butcher pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. His trial started Tuesday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court, where dozens of people were called for jury selection. “As the trial proceeds, you may discuss the case among yourselves when all of you are together in your jury room. You must not, however, come to any conclusions about the case during those discussions,” said Arnold, who also told jury members not to discuss the case with friends or family. Before the jury was selected, Butcher was asked to enter his plea.
