PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jury selection begins today for the death penalty trial of a man charged in the shooting death of a western Pennsylvania police officer almost two years ago. Testimony is slated to begin next week for the trial of 31-year-old Rahmael Sal Holt in the November 2017 slaying of New Kensington officer Brian Shaw. Prosecutors have said they intend to seek capital punishment if Holt is convicted of first-degree murder. Holt has maintained that he wasn’t the one who fired the shots.
