Lawyers need a larger pool of prospective jurors for the trial of an Edna man accused of capital murder.

Five jurors have been selected in the Jackson County death penalty case since jury selection began July 28. LeJames Norman, 22, is charged with killing Samuel Roberts, 24, Tiffani Peacock, 18, and Celso Lopez, 38, during a 2005 robbery in Edna. They were shot in their home.

A Victoria County jury gave Norman’s co-defendant Kersean Ramey the death penalty in 2007.

More prospective jurors will be summoned Oct. 13 in the hopes of adding between 60 or 70 more people to the pool, District Clerk Cathy Stuart said.
