Jury selection begins today in the first degree murder trial of a Barss Corner man in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. Wayne Paul Eisnor is set to stand trial in the shooting death of his estranged wife. The incident unfolded outside a grocery store in New Germany in June of 2010. Eisnor is accused of shooting his wife twice while she was in a car outside the store. He then turned the gun on himself. The 50 year-old suffered serious brain damage as a result of self-inflicted gunshot wound. His mental fitness to stand trial has been an ongoing issue ever since. In a final decision last month, a supreme court judge ruled Eisnor was fit to stand trial on the murder charge. More than two weeks have been set aside for the trial.
