Memphis, Tn - Jury selection is ongoing in the Federal trial of two men accused of being hit-men for a large drug trafficking organization out of Memphis.

Tuesday marks day two and still no jury to deliberate the guilt or innocence of cousins Clinton and Martin Lewis.

150 potential jurors were summoned to court Monday which attorney's says is double the amount usually called.

The judge in the case says his goal is a fair jury and finding unbiased jurors without conflict takes time.

Part of the selection process Tuesday included reading a list of 162 potential witnesses in the case to see if jurors knew any of them.
