Jury selection begins at 9 a.m. Monday in Riley County District Court, in the case of a Junction City man accused of murdering a confidential drug informant.
Steven Meredith is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 48-year-old Carrie Jones, whose body was found by deer hunters in southern Riley County in October 2017. Meredith has pleaded not guilty to the charge as well as to a conspiracy to commit murder charge.
In January, witnesses testified that Meredith believed Jones might reveal information about him and others in a 2013 drug-related case.
The jury trial is expected to take up to eight days. If convicted, Meredith could face up to life in prison.
