NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jury selection began Monday for a trial of accused killer Bruce Mendenhall.
The trial isn’t about the truck-stop killings in four states, but is instead about what prosecutors call a murder-for-hire plot.
Mendenhall has been in jail since 2007, when he was arrested for allegedly killing prostitutes in Tennessee and other states.
This trial will attempt to determine whether Mendenhall tried to hire inmates to kill two lead detectives in his case as well as witnesses.

Since the arrest of Bruce D. Mendenhall of Albion, Ill., in July 2007 for the shooting death of a Nashville, Tenn., prostitute, officials have been monitoring closely the suspected serial killer’s mail and jailhouse phone calls.
Mendenhall’s letters to and from his children and other relatives are now part of his growing case file.
Prosecutors in Nashville are trying to use evidence from those calls and letters to show that after Mendenhall was unsuccessful in establishing an alibi, he tried to hire two fellow inmates to kill people scheduled to testify against him in his upcoming murder trial.
…
Since his arrest, Mendenhall has maintained that two former Albion men — Ritchie Keim and David Powell — have been following him around the country, killing several prostitutes at various truck stops.
…
Unable to establish an alibi for the July 2007 slaying death of Nashville prostitute Sarah Nicole Hulbert, prosecutors allege that Mendenhall turned to two cellmates in a plot to kill Metro Nashville homicide detectives Pat Postiglione and Lee Freeman.

Houston is our nation’s sixth largest city. It is a big, sprawling, diverse place. It’s ethnic neighborhoods are sometimes as big as the Town of Poughkeepsie. So there is no better place to sample local and ethnic food and music.
In Little Saigon, we had spring rolls. In Little Mexico, we had frijoles and enchiladas made by a woman who had to be at least 100 years old. In Little Korea, we went to Ddgga Ddgga, a well-known local karaoke joint.
As for true Southern culture, we went to LaGrange, an hour or so away on the interstate. Once known to have Texas’ largest brothel, it’s now famous for its kolaches, pastry filled with sausage, potatoes and other fillings. Truckers from all over, going in any direction, converge on the Pilot Truck Stop and fill their tanks and stomachs. Lone Star Beer and Kolaches are the food of choice and they wrap the greasy delicacies in newspapers to take on the road.

Memphis, Tennessee, United States (AHN) – A Tennessee woman was sentenced late Thursday to more than 15 years in prison for forcing two minors into prostitution. The sentence marks the 11th conviction of members of a Memphis sex trafficking ring.
Cristina Andres Perfecto of Nashville was sentenced in federal court in Memphis to 190 months in prison for sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, sex trafficking of a juvenile and conspiracy. She pleaded guilty in 2007 to recruiting two Mexican girls aged 13 and 17 years to travel to the United States, promising them work as employees at a restaurant in Nashville.
Perfecto admitted she knew the girls would be coerced into prostitution in brothels in Memphis and Nashville, and that a co–defendant, Juan Mendez, had physically, verbally and sexually abused the two teenagers to force them into prostitution.

NASHVILLE, TN (AP) – Two more people have been indicted in a federal investigation into a teenage prostitution business in Nashville.
The joint investigation by the Metro Nashville Police Department and the FBI resulted in the arrest in August of 45-year-old Teresa West and her two adult children. Agents found a 16-year-old girl at a Murfreesboro hotel who said she had been working for West as a prostitute.
The Tennessean reported that two others, Kenneth L. Dagley and Quinton M. Roath, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges in U.S. District Court in Nashville on Monday after they were indicted earlier this month.
According to the indictment, the two men are accused of transporting the teenagers across state lines.

Other “big news” headlines from 2002 included a flap over coalbed methane exploration on Bozeman Pass that resulted in the county’s creating an emergency zoning district to stop J.M. Huber Corp., from drilling. The case eventually landed in court, with the county prevailing in its quest to keep gas drilling from occurring in Gallatin County.
Also in the news in 2002, the strip club “Teasers” opened near Three Forks, prompting local officials throughout Gallatin County to adopt ordinances to restrict sexually-oriented businesses; Gallatin County creates the Four Corners Water and Sewer District after a long, contentious battle that may have just begun; the Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks was spared a fate as an assisted living facility before a Nevada-based group of investors bought it. The hotel was again sold in 2009 to the Folkvord family, who is in the process of restoring the century-old landmark and plans an April 2010 reopening.
