Alert! Duncan Announcement 7 Minutes Away

Issue: Duncan deal in works? Cancellation of jury selection may signal plea bargain/Taryn Brodwater, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Jury selection in the triple-murder trial of Joseph Edward Duncan III has been canceled, fueling speculation that a plea deal has been reached with Kootenai County prosecutors. Kootenai County sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger issued a brief statement late Sunday, saying that instead of jury selection, a 9 a.m. hearing will be held today in front of District Judge Fred Gibler.

DFO: Keep your fingers crossed that Prosecutor Bill Douglas has come to his sense.

Question: Would you like to see this case end today in Kootenai County?
