Schultz trial scheduled to begin today

A slight delay this morning in the beginning of a jury trial for John Lawrence Schultz.  The 19-year old Rochester man is charged in a conspiracy to manufacture a school shooting at Rochester. 

A juror experienced car trouble on the way to court leading to the delay this morning.

A witness who knew the men involved came forward to Rochester Police with initial information in the case with a statement that he heard Schultz and Donald Robin, 18, talking about wanting to perform the shooting and kill people at the schools.  Robin is already serving a sentence for conspiracy to commit murder and is expected to testify against Schultz during the trial this week.

Voir dire was held in Miami County.  Jurors were to be sworn in and released with directions to report to the Fulton Circuit Court today.  Jurors were also directed to not investigate, Google, or read anything about the case.
