HALIFAX — Jury selection has wrapped up in the high-profile murder trial of a Dalhousie University medical student.

A jury of 14 — seven women and seven men — will hear the trial of William Sandeson, who is accused in the 2015 death of 22-year-old Taylor Samson.

The final juror was chosen mid-afternoon today. Two alternates have also been selected: one man and one woman.

More than 300 people showed up for the selection process at the Halifax Law Courts on Tuesday, and by this morning about 100 remained.
