Juror in Vance Trial Excused; Selection Continues

The move leaves the court needing two jurors and two alternates for the trial of Curtis Vance, who has pleaded not guilty in last year's death of KATV's Anne Pressly.
The juror, a Catholic, told the judge Tuesday he would consider the full range of penalties if Vance is convicted. In court Wednesday, the man said that, after reflection overnight, he could not vote for Vance's execution.
The Catholic church opposes executions in nearly all cases.
Judge Chris Piazza excused the man from the panel, dropping the number of jurors to 10.
