Jury Selection to Begin in Brian Walshe Murder Trial Tuesday
Jury selection begins for Brian Walshe, accused of killing his wife on Jan. 1, 2023, with opening arguments set for Dec. 1 in Norfolk Superior Court.
- Judge Diana Freniere set jury selection to begin Nov. 18 at Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, with a final pre-trial conference Monday and opening arguments on Dec. 1.
- After a court-ordered evaluation, Judge Diana Freniere found Walshe mentally fit to stand trial following concerns from a September 11 jailhouse stabbing.
- Prosecutors allege Brian Walshe killed and dismembered Ana Walshe on January 1, 2023, and investigators recovered a hacksaw, hatchet, blood-soaked rug, and online searches about disposing a body.
- The court denied the defense's venue request, Judge Diana Freniere will question about 70 potential jurors a day, and legal analysts estimate the trial could last two to four weeks.
- The high-profile case has drawn intense local media attention and may hinge on circumstantial evidence, while Ana's remains have never been found, affecting the couple's three young children.
