Judge Thomas Lock excused 13 for “cause,” and the defense used one of its challenges to send the other one home. Jury selection began Monday from the largest pool of jurors ever summoned in Columbus County. The jury selection process is expected to take another five to six weeks, and a session to hear excuses from a second pool of 200 jurors will be held Friday, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The jurors Friday have been ordered to report for duty on March 14. Another group of 150 are to report in late March, and possibly a fourth pool of 150 for mid-April. Thomas, now 38, is charged with the triple killings on Nov. 5, 2005 of Ivery Dennis Inman, 40; his wife, Regina Dos- sie Inman, 33, and her brother, Anthony “Goofy” Martin, 35, at the Inman home along Dessie Road south of Chadbourn. All victims were shot, and cash and other items were stolen, reports showed. The fourth murder charged to Thomas, a former resident of Chadbourn living in Durham at the time of the homicides, is that of Craig Lesand Williams, 35, of Mt. Olive School Road, Chadbourn. Williams was killed on Sept. 10, 2005 outside a home along Wade Smith Circle off Georgia Pacific Road midway between Chadbourn and Whiteville.
