Jury selection began in the trial of four white officers accused of torturing a Haitian immigrant. Civil rights activists and the defendants were absent as prospective jurors were ushered into federal court in Brooklyn, N.Y., to fill out a long questionnaire on what they know about the beating of Abner Louima. Four officers are accused of violating Louima’s civil rights by abusing him after his arrest in 1997.
