Jury selection starts in Adam Fravel Murder trial in Mankato

MANKATO, MINN.– Jury selection began Monday in Mankato for the man accused of killing Madeline Kingsbury of Winona.

Adam Fravel is facing first- and second-degree murder charges in the March 2023 disappearance and death of Kingsbury.

A judge granted a request from Fravel’s lawyers to move the trial out of Winona County due to pre-trial publicity.

Prosecutors expect it to take three to four days to pick the jury in Blue Earth County.

More than 150 witnesses have been identified by both sides.
