Jury selection under way in Marion

Almost 100 potential jurors were summoned to the Crittenden County Courthouse at 1 pm today as Crittenden Circuit Court begins the process of seating a jury in the Pat Tinsley arson and reckless homicide case.

Tinsley is charged with conspiring with his wife, Glenda, to burn their home on Wilson Farm Road on Aug. 1, 2010. His wife died in the fire.

Jury panels from both Circuit and District courts were summoned, from which a jury of 12 plus 2 alternates will be seated.
