Over two days, the number has gone from 447 to 116 after the first stage of the jury selection in the Michael Rafferty trial. Rafferty was charged with first degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping after 8 year-old Victoria Stafford disappeared outside of her Woodstock school in April 2009. Victoria's remains were discovered in a remote area near Mount Forest three months later. His co-accused, Terri-Lynne McClintic, is already facing a life sentence after pleading guilty in April 2010. The remaining 116 people will be asked a series of questions by the Crown and Defence lawyers starting today as they select 12 jury members and two alternates. It is expected that opening arguments in the trial will begin Monday morning.
