GREELEY, Colo. -- A pool of 70 jurors was whittled down Tuesday to seven jurors who began hearing the case against a Democratic volunteer facing a criminal charge for leaving dog feces to the office of Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave.

Kathleen Ensz, 64, faces a charge of using a noxious substance for the May 31, 2006 incident that ignited charges of political dirty tricks during a heated campaign.

Musgrave spokesman Shaun Kenney said someone stuffed the envelope full of dog poop through the mail slot in the office door and then sped away in a car. Kenney said most of the preprinted return address was blacked out, but staffers used the nine-digit ZIP code to trace it to Ensz, a Weld County Democratic volunteer.

Musgrave's campaign demanded an apology from her likely Democratic opponent, state Rep. Angela Paccione of Fort Collins, who refused, saying her campaign wasn't involved.

Jury selection lasted more than seven hours and used a questionnaire that asked potential jurors about their political involvement. Ensz's trial was expected to wrap up Wednesday.

Denver-based defense attorney Patricia Bangert said Ensz's actions were protected by free speech as she was merely returning junk mail she didn't want.

"Her intention in doing this was to send a message," she said. "A symbolic message, not a nice message, but one that basically says, `Stop sending me this crap.'"
