WILKES-BARRE -- A jury was chosen on Monday in Luzerne County in the homicide case of a woman accused of shooting and killing her boyfriend.

In April Jessica Alinsky had pleaded guilty to third degree murder in the 2011 death of her boyfriend Matthew Gailie, but then in May Alinsky withdrew her guilty plea and decided to go to trial.

Gailie, who was a corrections officer, was found shot to death inside his home in Hazle Township.

At the time, the coroner couldn't figure out if the death was a suicide or homicide.

Last year, a coroner's inquest ruled Gailie's death a homicide and blamed Alinsky.

Testimony is expected to begin Tuesday morning.
