WILMINGTON, Del.- The second round of trials connected to the deadly 2017 Delaware prison riot near Smyrna kicked off today with jury selection.

The first round of trials ended just before Thanksgiving -- with only one of three inmates being convicted of felony murder in the death of Vaughn Correctional Officer Lt. Steven Floyd.

The second round of four inmates being tried each face three counts of murder. 

Opening arguments are expected to begin next week in Delaware's superior court.
