Jury Selection Begins in murder trial

Jury selection is set to begin this morning in the trial of a woman accused of setting a fire outside the bedroom where her children were sleeping.
Lisa Greene is charged with arson and two counts of first-degree murder. She faces the death penalty if she is convicted.
Defense attorneys will try today to suppress some of the statements investigators say she made. They will also try to persuade a judge to move the trial out of Cabarrus County to another venue because of previous media coverage.
Prosecutors say Greene said she set a blanket on fire and laid it on a bookshelf outside the room where the children slept. Investigators say Greene told them that as the shelf burned, she closed the door and sat in a living room recliner. They say she left when she began to smell smoke and didn't do anything to help the children.
