WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas man accused of setting fire to a camper as his two sons slept inside goes before a Sedgwick County jury Tuesday for his second trial on capital murder charges.
Robert Fox is charged in the deaths of 6-year-old Chance Fox and 4-year-old Rowdy Fox. The boys lived with their mother in Hooker, Oklahoma, but were visiting their father in southwest Kansas when they died in March of 2004.
Prosecutors from the Kansas Attorney General's office are seeking the death penalty. Jury selection was expected to take about a week.
Fox's first trial in Liberal ended in a mistrial in February after prosecutors realized they did not have a report from a fire detective.
