(AP) - The second of four Bourbon Street bouncers accused of killing a Georgia college student on New Year’s Eve 2004 is scheduled for trial in Baton Rouge.
Thirty-five-year-old Clay Montz of Metairie is charged with manslaughter in the death of 26-year-old Levon Jones, who died after a clash over a dress code with bouncers barring the door of Razzoo Bar & Patio.
Jury selection is set to begin Monday. The trial was moved due to the national publicity that erupted over the last moments of a black college student whose death by asphyxia came after a struggle with four white bouncers; the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld the ruling that none of the defendants will face a jury of New Orleans residents.
In April, a Calcasieu Parish jury acquitted 43-year-old Arthur Irons of Slidell of manslaughter in a 10-2 verdict reached after about an hour of deliberation and four days of testimony.
