Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the trial of five men charged in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, Christian Sanon and James Solages are charged with conspiring in South Florida to kidnap or kill Haiti’s former leader, plus related charges. They face possible life sentences. They have all pleaded not guilty. The trial was previously set for last year, but U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra in Miami agreed to delay to Monday because of discovery challenges and the volume of evidence. Officials say Moïse was killed on July 7, 2021, when about two dozen foreign mercenaries, mostly from Colombia, attacked his home near Port-au-Prince.

“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie and her sister returned to their mother’s home outside Tucson in their first sighting at the house since Nancy Guthrie went missing a month ago. The NBC anchor, her sister Annie Guthrie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni walked arm-in-arm down the driveway and laid yellow flowers in a makeshift tribute to the 84-year-old at the edge of the street. Nancy Guthrie’s children had previously appeared in videos in which they pleaded for their mother’s return. She was last seen at her home on Jan. 31. Authorities believe she was kidnapped, abducted or otherwise taken against her will.
