Jury selection is expected to continue today in the high-profile murder trial of a Dalhousie University medical student. About 315 prospective jurors packed two Halifax courtrooms in Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Tuesday for the trial of William Sandeson, accused in the 2015 death of 22-year-old Taylor Samson. By end of day, six jurors had been selected and about 100 people were told to return to court this morning for the continuation of jury selection. Fourteen jurors will be needed to hear the trial, which is expected to last 32 court days. Sandeson was charged with first-degree murder on Aug. 20, 2015, four days after Samson, a physics student at Dalhousie, was reported missing.
