The Riley County District Court jury trial for Anthony Nichols, Kansas City, Missouri, opens today in Manhattan.

Nichols is charged with first degree murder in the September 2013 death of John Burroughs of Manhattan.

Four days have been scheduled for the trial, which will begin with jury selection and could possibly proceed to opening arguments and some witness testimony later this afternoon.

Nichols has already been convicted in Geary County of Voluntary Manslaughter and Aggravated Robbery in the September 2013 shooting death of Anthony Nixon, Junction City at a street intersection, Tenth and Webster.

In the Geary County case Nichols was sentenced to 302 months in prison.
