Connecticut Man Faces Trial in Developer's Slaying

GREENWICH, Conn.—The final juror has been selected in the murder trial of a man charged in the stabbing death of a Connecticut real estate developer in his Greenwich mansion.

The 15th juror was picked Friday in the case against 49-year-old Carlos Trujillo of Bridgeport, who is charged with Andrew Kissel's death. Trujillo was Kissel's chauffeur.

The trial is expected to start Nov. 1.

Kissel was found dead in his basement in April 2006, just days before he was to plead guilty in a multimillion-dollar fraud case.

Carlos Trujillo's cousin, Leonard Trujillo of Worcester, Mass., pleaded guilty last year to reduced charges of manslaughter and conspiracy. He's agreed to testify against his cousin.
