New Haven, Conn. (AP) - Jury selection is resuming in the trial of a Connecticut man charged with a deadly home invasion in Cheshire in 2007.
New Haven Superior Court Judge Jon Blue ordered the trial of Steven Hayes to resume Monday.
Jury selection had been on hold since officials said Hayes overdosed on medication he had hoarded in a suicide attempt on Jan. 30 and while his prison conditions were evaluated.
Hayes is one of two men charged in the 2007 home invasion in Cheshire. If convicted, he faces either the death penalty or life in prison.
Hayes and another man, Joshua Komisarjevsky, have pleaded not guilty to capital felony murder, sexual assault and other crimes in the deaths of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, 11-year-old Michaela and 17-year-old Hayley.
