BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) - A woman charged with murder in the death of her developmentally disabled foster son sat quietly at the defense table Monday as potential jurors were asked what they knew and thought about the accusations against her.
Prosecutors say Liz Carroll and her husband wrapped 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel in a blanket, bound him with packing tape and left him in a closet last August while they went to a family reunion in Kentucky for the weekend, returning to find the boy dead. She later reported that Marcus went missing from a suburban Cincinnati park.
Ten of the first 30 prospective jurors who were questioned were excused, but only three because they told Judge Robert Ringland they had strong opinions about the couple's guilt. Jury selection was set to resume Tuesday afternoon.
