Jury selection has begun in the death penalty trial of two men accused of killing a 24-year-old hot dog stand employee with a bomb on his car outside a Las Vegas Strip casino in 2007.
Porfirio Duarte-Herrera and Omar Rueda-Denvers are accused of making the pipe bomb that killed Willebaldo Dorantes Antonio early May 7, 2007, in the parking lot of the Luxor hotel-casino.
More than 100 jurors filled out 47-item questionnaires before prosecutors and defense lawyers began interviewing them in person Monday before Clark County District Court Judge Michael Villani.
Both men have pleaded not guilty, but prosecutors say both men made detailed confessions.
They're accused of plotting to kill Dorantes Antonio because he was dating Rueda-Denvers' ex-girlfriend.
