A jury for the Trinity County trial of a couple who is charged with numerous animal abuses was selected Tuesday.

The Trinity County District Attorney's Office confirmed that a jury was selected before lunch, but it was unclear if actual opening statements or testimony took place.

In August 2006, 13 dogs that appeared to be starving were taken by an animal rescue group from a property in Mad River linked to Stacy and John Malcolm.

The remains of a number of other dogs were also found on the property and at two other locations.

At one point in the case the Malcolms were charged with more than 40 counts of felony animal abuse.
