Jury selection starts in Satterfield case

Jury selection is now under way in the capital murder case against Robert Allen Satterfield who stands
accused of killing an Angleton man, his wife and 5-year-old child before burning their bodies outside of Burr.
If jurors ultimately convict Satterfield, prosecutors for the Wharton County District Attorney’s Office will seek the death penalty. Picking the 12 jurors and two alternates who will hear the full case is expected to take until Friday, Nov. 18, largely because of the individual interview method being used. No motive for the crime has been released.
