Jury selection
begins in Coke trial
ATLANTA (AP) - One
hundred potential jurors
filed into a federal courtroom
Tuesday for the start of the
conspiracy trial of a former
Coca-Cola secretary accused
of stealing trade secrets from
the world’s largest beverage
maker in an effort to sell
them to rival Pepsi.
The potential jurors
answered questions from
U.S. District Judge J. Owen
Forrester about whether
they work for or have rela
tives who work for Atlanta
based Coca-Cola, then filled
out a questionnaire drafted
by the lawyers in the case
and were sent home for the
day. Individual questioning
of potential jurors by the
defense lawyers and prose
cutors will begin Wednesday,
and opening statements are
scheduled for Monday. The
trial is expected to last up to
two weeks.
Joya Williams, who was
fired from her job as an
administrative assistant to
Coca-Cola’s global brand
director after the allegations
came to light, faces up to 10
years in prison if convicted
of the single federal charge
against her. She has pleaded
not guilty. Two co-defen
dants have pleaded guilty to
conspiracy, and at least one
is expected to testify against
her.
The questionnaire, a copy
of which was provided to The
Associated Press, asks the
potential jurors about their
educational background,
whether they’ve held man
agement jobs before, wheth
er they’ve ever brought
documents from their job
to their home and whether
they or their spouse has ever
worked for The Coca-Cola
Co. or any of its affiliates.
The questionnaire also
asks potential jurors what
magazines and newspapers
they read, what television
shows they watch regularly,
whether they own Coca-Cola
stock and what they know

Records missing in
DeKalb shootings
DECATUR (AP)-The dis
trict attorney’s office, which
is the only outside agency
that usually reviews fatal
police shootings in DeKalb
County, is missing records
on half the reviews it’s fin
ished in recent years.
The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution requested
records for 20 completed
reviews on fatal police shoot
ings in the county from 2001
to 2005. But the district
attorney’s office told the
newspaper it could not find
records on 10 cases.

the DeKalb County Police
Department, which saw a
surge in the number of fatal
police shootings last year.
In 2006, there were 12 inci
dents in which officers shot
suspects to death. One offi
cer also was killed.
The records that could
be found show investiga
tors from the district attor
ney’s office often relied on
the police department’s
own findings. And the dis
trict attorney only looked at
whether officers committed
a crime and did not consider
if they acted wisely or fol
lowed department policy.
The district attorney’s
investigations sometimes
ended with brief memos.
The missing files and
sparse records reflect the fact
that Georgia law does not
require any outside review
of shootings by police. In
Georgia, as in many states,
district attorneys are free to
decide whether to present
a police shooting case to a
grand jury.
There are exceptions.
Nebraska requires a grand
jury investigation; Maine
and Connecticut require an
investigation by a top state
law enforcement official.
