Bonifay, FL- Jury selection in the murder trial of Johnny Calhoun, 34 years old, began Monday morning at the Holmes County Courthouse.

Circuit Judge Christoper Patterson started the day off by briefly addressing the first group of around 50 potential jurors.

"From this point forward you should not discuss this case or anything that has occurred here in this courtroom with anyone else," said Patterson.

He then brought them to a smaller courtroom downstairs in groups of five and six. There Judge Patterson and attorneys for both sides asked them a set of general questions.

Judge Patterson released 11 people in that round, then the remaining potential jurors faced more in depth questions later in the afternoon.

The defendant, Johnny Calhoun, was present Monday. He faces one count of kidnapping and one count of first degree murder. Investigators said he kidnapped Mia Brown, 24 years old, in Esto in December 2010. Her charred body was found soon after in her burned vehicle in Geneva, Alabama.

"The jurors must decide the case only on the evidence presented in the courtroom," said Patterson.

As of 4:00 Monday afternoon, no jurors had been chosen. The selection process is expected to continue Tuesday with opening statements possibly Wednesday. The trial could last up to two weeks.
