RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - Jury selection is under way in the trial of a man charged in the rape and slaying of a University of Vermont student from northern Virginia.

Thirty-seven-year-old Brian Rooney is charged with aggravated murder in the death of 21-year-old Michelle Gardner-Quinn of Arlington, Va., who disappeared Oct. 7, 2006, and was found dead six days later.

The trial was moved from Burlington to Rutland at the request of Rooney's attorney, who said intense coverage of Gardner-Quinn's killing made it impossible to get a fair trial in Chittenden County.

The jury draw is expected to take at least a day.
