Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill

JONESBORO, Ga. -- Twelve jurors and two alternates were chosen Thursday morning for the racketeering trial of Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill.

But before they were sworn in, both sides accused each other of using race in their choices.

The defense accused prosecutors of striking too many African Americans, and prosecutors accused the defense of striking too many whites in their jury choices.

Clayton County Judge Albert Collier overruled both objections, and allowed the jury to remain as chosen. Their make up is nine black men, three black women, one white male and one Asian male.

None of the jurors knows which of them are alternates in order to ensure that all of them pay attention to the proceedings.

Opening statements will follow shortly.
