Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly A. Cannone, citing widespread publicity surrounding the killings, has ordered jurors to be selected from Bristol County.
Lopes was facing two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Weymouth Police Officer Michael Chesna and 77-year-old Vera Adams and will be retried in court at a later date.
Judge Beverly J. Cannone reportedly said if not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, Emanuel Lopes would spend the rest of his life in a mental health facility.
