Jury selection was completed in the murder and kidnaping trial for two members of the so-called Billionaire Boys Club. Reza Eslaminia, 26, and Ben Dosti, also 26, are charged with murder, kidnaping and conspiracy in the death of Eslaminia’s father, Hedayat, a former Iranian parliament member and close associate of the late Shah of Iran. An eight-woman, four-man jury was seated in San Mateo County Superior Court at Redwood City, with Judge Robert Miller presiding. Opening arguments in the trial, which includes 35,000 pages of discovery motions and answers, is scheduled to begin Monday. Jury selection took about two weeks.
