TWINSBURG, Ohio - Jury selection began on Monday for the man accused of killing Twinsburg police officer Joshua Miktarian.
Prosecutors said Ashford Thompson shot Miktarian in the head during a traffic stop almost two years ago.
Last April, Thompson pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, but withdrew his plea. He could face the death penalty, if convicted.
Jury selection is expected to last all week.
