Daily News | Kenyatta Johnson trial: Day-by-day updates for federal bribery case
A jury of nine men and three women was seated as the panel that will ultimately decide Johnson and Chavous’ fate. The jurors hail from across a nine-county region including Philadelphia, its suburbs, and outlying counties. Most of the jurors are white.A second day of jury selection came to an abrupt halt less than an hour after it began, after U.S. District Judge Gerald A. McHugh announced too few of the potential jurors had shown up to complete process.
When a cousin of City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson was killed outside Childs Elementary School in 1998, some members of the family wanted revenge. But Johnson took a different path, becoming an antiviolence activist — and eventually an elected official —whose efforts to keep the community calm carried added credibility. But Johnson and his wife, Dawn Chavous, are now in court to address a very different set of crimes from the ones Johnson sought to avoid in his youth.
