Opening statements are expected to begin Monday in the Orange County murder trial of Edward Holley.

Holley is accused of killing Megan McDonald in 2003.

On Friday, a dozen jurors and six alternates were seated.

Holley was indicted by a grand jury in 2024 on a second degree murder charge.  McDonald’s body was found in a field in March 2003.

Law enforcement officials say McDonald and Holley knew each other.
