Everson Trial Opens

The first witness took the stand Tuesday afternoon in the case of a former University of Iowa football player Cedric Everson charged with sexually assaulting a student in a university dorm room in 2007. The jury of nine men and six women was seated Tuesday after the prosecutor and defense lawyer spent more than a day questioning potential jurors about their views on race, alcohol and sexual abuse. Three will later be picked as alternates while the other 12 deliberate.
