FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) — A jury has been selected for the trial of a 21-year-old western Iowa man charged with killing his mother in Early and kidnapping another woman. The Messenger in Fort Dodge reports a jury of seven men and six women was seated Monday afternoon. The trial for Kirk Levin will begin Tuesday morning with opening statements. The trial was moved from Sac County to Webster County because of publicity about the case.

The 21-year-old Levin, of Early, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother and third-degree kidnapping in the abduction of a woman who later escaped.
