Jury Selected for Trial of Larry "No Relation" Stewart

According to AP dispatches, a jury of eight men and four women was selected yesterday for the perjury trial of Larry "No Relation" Stewart, the Secret Service lab director who stands accused of giving false testimony as a prosecution witness in the Martha Stewart trial.

Update: From the opening statements and the first day's testimony, it appears that Mr. Stewart is pursuing the venerable "sex-tinged grudge" defense.
