The jury selection process in the capital murder trial of Victor Godinez is set to last at least one more month.

Godinez is accused of killing Moises Sánchez — a trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety — in 2019. 

Before Godinez’s trial can begin, the court has to go through the pool of more than 300 potential jurors, according to Judge Letty Lopez.
