Waterloo Man Faces Death Possible Penalty in 2006 Case

By KCRG Intern

GALENA, Ill. (AP) - Jury selection in the murder trial of a Waterloo man charged with paying a hit man to kill his 13-year-old neighbor begins Monday morning.

David Damm faces the death penalty if convicted of orchestrating the beating death of Donnisha Hill in October 2006. He is accused of paying Bruce Burt to drive her to Illinois and kill her to cover up allegations of sexual abuse.

Prosecutors initially sought the death penalty in Burt's case, but say they will accept life in prison if Burt testifies truthfully against Damm.

Potential jurors arrived at the Illinois courthouse on Friday to fill out a 21-page questionnaire that asks about their knowledge of the case. Attorneys reviewed their answers over the weekend.
