BOSTON (AP) - Jury selection has begun in the kidnapping case of the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller.
Rockefeller, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, is accused of fleeing with his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit in Boston last July. He and the girl were found six days later in Baltimore.
Lawyers began to pick jury members from a pool of 120 on Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Frank Gaziano ruled the defense could use the name "Clark Rockefeller" during trial, but prosecutors could call him Gerhartsreiter.
His lawyers had argued it would be unfair for jurors to hear him called Gerhartsreiter, because he has been charged but not convicted of providing a false name to police.
