CLEVELAND — Jury selection will be in recess Tuesday in the trial of a Cleveland man charged with killing 11 women and dumping their remains in and around his house.http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=dvd+with+media+on+it&_sacat=See-All-Categories


The court administrator says the off day is due to a death in an attorney's family. Jury selection resumes Wednesday.


Jury selection entered its third week Monday with a new group of about 12 prospective jurors facing questions on their views on the death penalty. At least 77 prospective jurors have been cleared for a second round of general interviews.


Prosecutors say 51-year-old Anthony Sowell (SOH'-wehl) lured women to his home with the promise of alcohol or drugs and killed them. Sowell has pleaded not guilty.
