SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Jury selection began in Seminole County on Monday for a man accused of killing his family over a Bulgarian call girl.
Prosecutors said Grant Amato shot and killed his mother, father and brother in January after he was forced to cut off the connection with the call girl, Silvie, online.
Officials later found the bodies of the three inside their Chuluota home and 29-year-old Amato inside a hotel room.
Amato underwent a brain scan in June so attorneys could determine his mental condition.
The information obtained from the MRI will remain under seal until needed by Amato's attorneys.
Lawyers on both sides will try to pick a fair and impartial jury made up of 12 jurors and three alternates.
If convicted, Amato could face the death penalty.
