A white-majority jury was selected yesterday in the wrongful- death lawsuit against OJ Simpson after the judge rejected charges that plaintiffs targeted blacks for exclusion from the panel.

The clerk swore in a jury of eight whites, two blacks, one Hispanic and one man who is half-Asian and half-black. Two jurors said they considered Simpson probably guilty of murder, while the rest said they were unsure. The jury was selected after nearly a month of selection. AP - Santa Monica
