Jury pool called in Fulbright murder trial
A total of 350 potential jurors have been called for consideration in the Joshua Fulbright murder trial set to begin next week in 97th District Court at Montague.
The 26-year-old Fulbright is accused of severely beating two-year-old Scarlette Olivia Newsom on Oct. 11, 2018. The toddler later died from her injuries.
This will be the second attempt to try Fulbright. The Shannon man was in court facing a felony charge of injury to a child in a trial but it ended with a mistrial Dec. 6, 2019. A jury reportedly could not be seated after attorneys questioned 80 potential jury panelists.
Fulbright was indicted for murder by a Clay County Grand Jury on a murder charge Dec. 21, 2021. A change of venue from Clay County was approved following the mistrial.
Prospective jurors will meet in the district courtroom at Montague at 10 a.m. on Aug. 17 for the qualification process. Voir Dire will begin at 9 a.m. on Aug. 22.

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
