Prosecutors say Ormsby was sane at the time he fatally stabbed the three at Ryan’s home on June 22, 2010. When he was arrested the following week, Ormsby told police he went after Ryan because he thought he was a drug dealer.
Jury selection begins today in Aroostook County Superior court in Houlton. The trial is expected to last up to two weeks.
