TULSA — Jury selection began Monday for a Tulsa case that made national headlines.
Stanley Vernon Majors is accused in the killing of 37-year-old Khalid Jabara in August 2016.
Majors faces first-degree murder and hate crime charges in the fatal shooting.
Majors previously pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and malicious intimidation and harassment, which is Oklahoma’s hate-crime law.
Prosecutors say Majors was in a feud with Jabara's family that lasted several years.
Majors' attorneys have indicated that they will present a mental health-based defense, though Majors was previously found competent to stand trial.
The trial could extend into next week.
