LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A prospective juror for a murder-conspiracy trial didn’t need to make a case to be excused Friday, after he showed up with the faces of the accused printed on his T-shirt and waved at them in the prisoner’s box.

He was one of about 100 people who were at court for jury selection in the trial of two men charged with conspiracy to commit murder of police officers at the 2022 blockade at the border crossing at Coutts, Alta.
