Jury selected in gang-rape trial

A jury was selected Tuesday in the retrial of three men accused of

gang-raping an allegedly unconscious girl when they were 17.

After two full days of interviews with prospective jurors,

attorneys agreed on 12 jurors and alternates.

Nearly 800 were called to an initial screening pool, and that

number was whittled down to 120 who showed up in Judge Francisco

Briseno’s courtroom Monday morning.

Opening statements are set to start Feb. 7 in the retrial of Kyle

Nachreiner, Keith Spann, both now 20, and 19-year-old Greg Haidl, son

of former Orange County Assistant Sheriff Don Haidl.

The three are accused of gang-raping a 16-year-old girl in Don

Haidl’s Corona del Mar home in 2002.

The incident was videotaped, and jurors will have to evaluate the

tape during the trial.

The first trial of the three defendants ended in a hung jury last

year.
