10-30-25: Jury Selection In Brooks Murder Trail
Tune in here to this Thursday’s edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the upcoming jury selection in the high-profile Brooks family restaurant murder trial and the local debate surrounding the proposed one-cent sales tax increase. He explains that the jury selection process has been underway this week, with the trial expected to last up to five weeks, and notes the financial burden jurors face with limited daily pay. Brett also reflects on the community event “News and Brews,” highlighting moments with his producer Isaac, who made his on-stage debut, and shared stories about his chickens and a humorous Trump-themed shirt.
Brett Jensen shifts the conversation to the ongoing Brooks Sandwich House murder trial, a case that continues to capture local attention in Charlotte. He recaps a Queen City News report detailing day three of jury selection, where one potential juror was dismissed after admitting his personal connection to the Brooks family would prevent him from being impartial. Prosecutors and defense attorneys continue vetting candidates, with hopes of seating a jury by Friday and beginning the trial Monday.
