After eight days of jury selection and more than 200 potential jurors, seven women and five men have been selected for Burnett's trial.

51-year old Theodore Burnett has been charged with capital murder in the June 2006 kidnapping and killing of 14-year old Chelsea Brooks. Brooks was nine months pregnant at the time.

Although police originally thought Brooks had probably run away, they later discovered her body partially buried near a wheat field in Butler County.

Authorities believe Brooks' boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, Ray Ray Robinson, hired Burnett to kill the teen.

Prosecutors said that Burnett confessed to his girlfriend that he strangled and killed Brooks for $500.

Burnett's trial has been set to begin tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. The judge said that the trial may not last as long as jury selection did.

Robinson is scheduled to go to trial in September.
