. Court proceedings were delayed last week after Troyer’s attorney said he was sick with the flu.
About a dozen potential jurors were called into the courtroom for additional questioning to help prosecutors and defense determine who is most eligible to serve on the trial. A number of jurors were dismissed on various issues including financial hardship, lack of transportation, death in the family, medical conditions, potential bias and attention to media coverage.
This trial stems from an incident in January 2021. Officials said a Black male newspaper carrier was making deliveries in Tacoma when Troyer began following him in his personal car., repeatedly telling an emergency dispatcher that the newspaper carrier threatened to kill him.
