Prosecutors and attorneys began selecting jurors Tuesday in the 24-year-old woman's trial in Fulton County.
Six-year-old twin brothers Xzavier and Mason Ingle, and their 9-year-old sister, Alivia Stahl, were killed and a fourth child was badly injured in the crash in Rochester, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Indianapolis.
