Three juries impaneled in slay of NYPD Officer Russel Timoshenko
The New York Daily News by SCOTT SHIFREL - November 8, 2008
Three juries are picked and ready to start hearing the case Monday against three men charged with killing a Brooklyn cop in cold blood and wounding another. Prosecutors will give three separate opening statements in what will be a courtroom packed with Officer Russel Timoshenko's family, fellow officers and journalists, as well as family members of the three defendants. Dexter Bostic, 36, Robert Ellis, 35, and Lee Woods, 30, require separate juries since they implicated each other in the first degree murder case for killing Timoshenko and attempted murder for wounding his partner, Herman Yan, on July 9, 2007, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Each 12-person jury has six alternates for the expected four-week-long trial that will be full of forensic evidence - including DNA, fingerprints and videotaped statements from the three defendants - and lots of tears.
