WILKES-BARRE -- The number of jurors chosen to hear the Todd Rae Tarselli
homicide trial stands at four.

Attorneys and the defendant selected one man Wednesday, the fifth day of
the process.
The previous day, two jurors were chosen. The Times Leader incorrectly
reported Wednesday that one man was chosen Tuesday.

A total of 12 regular and four alternate jurors are needed for the trial.

The jurors are not being sequestered during the selection process.

Luzerne County Judge Correale Stevens signed an order Wednesday directing
the sheriff's deputies to transport Tarselli to the Wyoming Valley Imaging
Center in Wilkes-Barre for medical testing at lunchtime today.

The order did not detail the nature or the reason for it.

According to the order, the deputies are not to interfere with the testing
or disclose the procedures or results to law enforcement officials.

Previously in the case, Public Defenders Al Flora Jr. and Basil Russin
objected to what they charged was a deputy's interference. They said a deputy
reported to the District Attorney's Office his observations of a meeting
between the defense attorneys and their client.

Tarselli, 18, of Drums allegedly shot and robbed his friend Mark Bunchalk
at the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Hazleton on Jan. 23, according to
police. Bunchalk, 17, of Conyngham was closing the restaurant at the time.

The defendant is held without bail in the psychiatric unit of the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility.

District Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. notified the court he would seek
the death penalty if the jury finds Tarselli guilty of first-degree murder.

Tarselli's attorneys filed notice of an insanity defense for the accused
killer.

TRIMMED HERE

Both Flora and Russin bring up the insanity defense to potential jurors,
asking them if they would consider it at the trial.

Jury selection resumes at 10 a.m. today.

Tarselli is being held without bail at the Luzerne County Correctional
Facility.
