A jury is in place for the Pedro Bravo trial, and opening statements are starting today.

Jury selection began yesterday morning and wrapped up just before 6 p.m. yesterday evening.
The trial is expected to continue for about two weeks.
Bravo was present for jury selection, but none of his family was with him.
Bravo is facing murder, kidnapping, and 5 other charges related to Christian Aguilar’s death in 2012.
