The process went much more smoothly than jury selection at the trial of Leonard's brother, Mark Ray Leonard. St. Joseph County Judge John Marnocha had to dismiss a pool of 56 potential jurors in that case when defense attorneys introduced allegations their client had attempted to hire a hitman from jail to kill a witness.
