Q: - A jury has been selected in the case of Adam Matos, who is accused of killing four people in Hudson. 
  
 The judge expected to start opening statements by 2 p.m. Thursday, but jury selection took longer than expected. 
  
 This is a potential death penalty case so the pool of dozens of jurors was questioned heavily on their personal beliefs of what punishments are appropriate. 
  
 The potential jurors were asked by the defense this hypothetical question: If someone kills four people in cold blood, is the death penalty the only reasonable punishment? 
  
 In this case, the prosecution will argue this was a cold-blooded killing. 
  
 They say Matos killed his ex-girlfriend, Megan Brown, her parents, Margaret and Gregory, and her boyfriend, Nick Leonard. 
  
 They also said he fled with his four-year-old son, who was later found to be OK. 
  
 Judge Mary Handsel admonished the attorneys for taking so long during jury selection: 
  
 "I'll give you five minutes a juror, that's fine. We are not sitting here while you guys have a lotto 15 minutes per juror. That's not necessary, nor is it proper. You chose to have this many people on your side and I am running this like any other trial. Figure out how you are going to do it. I will give you a little time, but I am not having committee hearings for each individual juror. Figure out how you are going to do it, but we are not waiting 10 minutes or 15 minutes every time you make a decision." 
  
 Any death penalty sentence now has to be approved unanimously by the jury. 
  
 The trial is expected to take three weeks with dozens of witnesses called. Testimony could be gruesome, with Matos accused of hiding the bodies for days after beating and shooting them. 
  
 We expect to hear a possible motive and what type of defense is mounted, given Matos has maintained his innocence. 
  
 Court proceedings are expected to resume with opening statements Friday. ||||| A potential juror in a Florida quadruple murder trial said the defendant, Adam Matos, was “attractive” and that she might be “distracted” by serving on his jury. 
  
 It was enough for the judge to raise serious questions about the potential juror’s ability to, um, focus at trial. 
  
 WATCH part of the discussion in this clip from the LawNewz Network: 
  
 The discussion about the juror’s statements came as attorneys debated the various jurors’ abilities to serve on a panel that could ultimately decide whether to send Matos to the execution chamber. Matos faces four first-degree murder charges. 
  
 Regarding the juror’s ability to adequately weigh any potential punishment, Judge Mary M. Handsel said: 
  
 “I’m more concerned about what she said yesterday about the defendant being ‘attractive’ and that causing her to be ‘distracted’ and that might cause bias. Those — those statements are more concerning to me.” 
  
 The judge decided to keep the potential juror in a preliminary pool of whittled-down jurors but kept her in the proverbial “very back row” due to the expressed views. 
  
 Some in the LawNewz Network chat room opined that the juror may have simply come up with a ridiculous way to try to get out of jury duty. 
  
 Not surprisingly, the “distracted” juror didn’t make the final cut. 
  
 Matos is accused of killing Megan Brown, with whom he had a son; Megan Brown’s parents, Greg and Margaret Brown; and Nick Leonard, a new friend who appeared to have had a romantic interest in Megan. 
  
 Megan and Greg Brown were shot to death. Nick Leonard was beaten and stabbed. Margaret Brown was beaten and asphyxiated, according to court records. 
  
 Prosecutors say Matos, who lived with the Browns and the child he shared with Megan Brown, later used one of the victim’s credit cards to buy pizzas. He also got caught on store surveillance video buying a shovel not long after he’s believed to have committed the crimes. He later attempted to sell some of the family’s belongings and purebred dogs on Craigslist while claiming the Browns were out of state, prosecutors have alleged. 
  
 A final group of twelve deliberating jurors and three alternates was ultimately seated late Thursday afternoon. Opening statements are scheduled for Friday morning.

 A spent bullet lay in the driveway. Blood puddled in the garage. 
  
 The bodies were stacked less than a mile away, one atop the other, at the summit of a small hill: a woman, her parents and her boyfriend. 
  
 Missing was a 4-year-old boy. Sheriff’s deputies said he had been taken by his father, Adam Matos, who would become the suspect. 
  
 Within a day, police in Tampa arrested Matos at a downtown hotel. The boy was safe. In a jailhouse interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Matos said he was innocent of the four murders. 
  
 Three years later, a jury will weigh in. The trial of Matos, 32, is set to begin in a New Port Richey courtroom. 
  
 On Monday and Tuesday, lawyers began the tedious process of sorting through scores of potential jurors. They wanted to know what the pool had heard about the high-profile murder case. 
  
 They also wanted to know how people felt about the death penalty.

 Megan Brown and her parents moved into the Hudson home in July 2014. 
  
 Margaret and Gregory Brown had wanted to be closer to Florida relatives. Matos, Megan’s ex-boyfriend, came with them from Pennsylvania. 
  
 Though the young couple had a relationship that family members said was volatile, they tried to stay together for their son, who has autism. 
  
 Relatives told investigators that the parents often argued over their respective treatment of the boy. While the rest of the family stuck together, Matos was often alone, holed up in a bedroom playing video games. Unemployed, he worked briefly as a dishwasher at a Hudson restaurant. But he was fired when he stopped showing up. 
  
 Megan Brown began dating Nick Leonard, whom she met at her new job as a server at Fisherman’s Shack, a bar in Hudson. 
  
 Her co-worker Tonya Carlson said Matos was aggressive and rude, calling Megan Brown incessantly, sending nasty text messages, telling her she was a bad mother. 
  
 "She was like, ‘You know, he’s crazy, Tonya,’?" Carlson said in a deposition. "?‘You know, he’s never going to let me go.’?"

 About 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 28, 2014, Megan Brown returned home after a late night with friends, she later told deputies. When she walked into her bedroom, Matos surprised her. 
  
 They argued. Matos pulled a knife and held it to her throat, she said. She tried to push the knife away and cut her finger. 
  
 Matos ran out, she reported. She saw him through a window fleeing on a bicycle. 
  
 Deputies were told to be on the lookout for Matos. 
  
 In the days that followed, Megan Brown vanished. So did her parents and her new boyfriend. None of them reported to their respective jobs. None of their friends or families heard from them. 
  
 But several people saw Matos. 
  
 He told a neighbor the family had left on a trip to West Virginia, according to an arrest report. On Aug. 29 and 30, he listed ads on Craigslist to sell dogs that Margaret Brown kept in her dog-breeding business. Several buyers visited the house on those days. One later said she remembered a foul odor inside. 
  
 On Aug. 31, Matos appeared at the back door of their next-door neighbor, Ryan McCann. He asked if he could share a beer with McCann and his family. McCann said in a deposition that Matos drank with them, but mostly stayed quiet. 
  
 Two days later, on Sept. 1, Matos had pizza delivered to the house, according to an arrest report. The delivery driver reported that Matos paid for the food with Margaret Brown’s debit card. 
  
 He ordered pizza again the next day. The driver, Jesse Fletcher, said in a deposition that he remembered a smell, "like a wet dog and rotten eggs" emanating from inside the house. 
  
 That night, Matos asked McCann if he would go with him to a bar. Matos got drunk and became aggressive with some of the other patrons, McCann later said in a deposition. 
  
 On Sept. 4, Linda Thomas phoned the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and asked that they do a welfare check on the family. It was then that deputies discovered the crime scene. 
  
 After the bodies were found, a medical examiner determined the four had been beaten and shot.

 If Matos is found guilty, prosecutors will ask for the death penalty. If the jury recommends capital punishment, the law now requires that the decision be unanimous. 
  
 The trial is expected to last three weeks.

A: 
It was either a candid admission or a novel way of getting out of jury duty. A woman in Florida was ultimately rejected after she said she found the defendant in a murder trial so attractive that it might affect her judgment, reports LawNewz. Her admission came despite the grisly nature of the case: Adam Matos is accused of killing four people in Hudson three years ago: his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and her parents, reports Fox 13. During a discussion about the jury panel, the judge raised the issue about the potential juror. "I'm more concerned about what she said yesterday about the defendant being 'attractive' and that causing her to be 'distracted' and that might cause bias," said Judge Mary Handsel. "Those statements are more concerning to me.” The woman didn't make the final cut. Jury selection was especially important because the prosecution plans to ask for the death penalty if Matos is convicted, notes the Tampa Bay Times, which has background on the case.
