HOUSTON — Defense lawyers,
jldng for jurors troubled by the
prospect of a death penalty, used an
electronic voice stress analyzer to
choose a jury for a capital murder
trial.
Observers said it was the area’s
st electronically aided jury selec
tion and possibly the first ever in
The trial was scheduled to begin
Wednesday with attorneys Sherman
Ross and Bill Frizzell representing
Claude Wilkerson, charged in a
1978 jewelry robbery in which two
men and a woman were shot and
buried on a ranch near Shiner.
Wilkerson was convicted once be
fore but the earlier jury deadlocked
onthe death penalty, forcing retrial.
The $1,500 instrument measures
microtremors in the voice that ordi
narily are undetectable to the
human ear. The tremors supposedly
show stress and, on occasion, have
been used to determine whether a
respondent was being truthful.

“We weren’t looking for decep
tion,” Ross said. “We wanted to ver
ify our feelings about whether they
(jurors) understood the gravity of
the questions concerning the death
penalty.
“It’s like having a clinical psy
chologist sit in for jury selection,”
Ross said. “A life or death decision
should be one of the most stressful
tasks of a person’s life.”
Ross said that no juror was struck
solely on the readings of the voice
stress analyzer, but he said one po
tential juror was struck from the
panel for showing no stress at all.
Wilkerson is charged in the Jan.
24, 1978, slayings of pawnshop
owner Donald Fantich, 33; jewelry
store owner Georgina Rose, 46, and
Dr. William Fitzpatrick, 31, a
radiologist and friend of Fantich.
Wilkerson is first being tried be
fore State District Judge Thomas
Routt on a charge of masterminding
the killing of Fitzpatrick.
Jury selection began Aug. 13 and
ended Tuesday.
