CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -

A jury is hearing the perjury case for the man guilty of assaulting a person while he was trying to have a Charlottesville councilor removed from office.

Jason Eric Kessler, who later organized the Unite the Right rally, appeared in Albemarle Circuit Court early Tuesday, March 20.

Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert Tracci and defense attorney Mike Hallahan spent several hours shuffling through a pool of 25 potential jurors to find 12 unbiased people to listen to the case.

The court went into a lunch break around 12:20 p.m. after a jury of 10 men and three women was selected. Two of the men on the jury are Asian, while the rest of the jurors are white.
