JURY SELECTION TO BEGIN IN STEUBENVILLE SUPERINTENDENT TRIAL
Source: AP
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- One of the last chapters in a long-running criminal case that began with the rape of a 16-year-old girl by two high school football players is about to open with jury selection in the trial of a school superintendent accused of obstructing the rape investigation.
Mike McVey, currently suspended as Steubenville schools superintendent, faces felony charges of obstructing justice and tampering with evidence for allegedly misleading authorities about the school's investigation of the August 2012 rape of the West Virginia girl.
McVey wiped computer hard drives, erased emails and lied to investigators about his knowledge of the allegations against the boys, court documents say.
Jury selection was set to begin Monday in Jefferson County court in the trial of McVey, who has pleaded not guilty to felony counts of tampering with evidence and obstructing justice, and misdemeanor counts of falsification and obstructing official business. A message was left Sunday for McVey's attorney.
