Voir Dire to begin Monday


The wheels of justice fire up on Monday.








Jury selection Monday in Weber murder trial

-

A local man accused of killing his father in December 2008 is set to go on trial next week in Comal County Court.

Jordan William Weber, 27, of Canyon Lake is charged with the murder of his father, Ronald William Weber, 55. Originally, Jordan Weber reported the shooting as a suicide just days before Christmas in 2008.

The Travis County medical examiner’s office ruled the cause of death a homicide.

Comal County Sheriff’s Office detectives thought the details at the scene seemed inconsistent with a suicide and subsequently arrested Jordan Weber in San Antonio. Deputies found Ronald Weber with a gunshot wound to his head at his home in the 1400 block of Hillcrest Forest.

Officials have not released a motive for the alleged murder.

Jury selection will be Monday morning at the Comal County Courthouse.

District Judge Gary Steel is presiding.
