Trial jury selection starting for Waffle House shooting

Attorneys are scheduled today to begin questioning up to 190 potential jurors in the murder trial of Travis Reinking, who is accused of killing four people. at a Nashville waffle house in 2018.

• The unusually large jury pool reflects the high-profile nature of a case that has been top news for nearly four years.

State of the situation: Reinking's criminal case file is sealed and cannot be discussed publicly by lawyers, so much of the development strategies and pre-trial debate has been hidden.

Between lines: The case was delayed after a judge ruled that Reinking needed to be compromised and treated for schizophrenia before a trial could go forward.

The details: Reinking faces more than a dozen criminal charges related to the shooting. Authorities say he entered the restaurant on the morning of April 22, 2018, and unleashed a torrent of bullets before customer James Shaw Jr. jumped out to stop him.

• Reinking, 32, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Akilah DaSilva, 23; DeEbony Groves, 21; Joe Perez, 20; and Taurean Sanderlin, 29.
