Jury selection is expected to begin Wednesday in the trial of a San Luis Obispo man accused of murdering his roommate more than two years ago.
The case against Charles Giese, 43, was in the pre-trial motion phase Tuesday.

The 43-year-old has been in custody at San Luis Obispo County Jail since November 2015 when he was arrested on suspicion of murdering Walter Vallivero, 54, in their San Luis Obispo mobile home in November of 2015.
During Giese’s preliminary hearing in October 2016, Giese’s mom testified that her son called her the morning after the murder, admitting to killing Vallivero.
