MIAMI -
It began as a case of six missing boaters. Then came the dramatic tale of an attack on the high seas by Cuban pirates, four fatal shootings and the rescue of two survivors from a life raft. Then the two survivors were charged with murder.
Nearly a year after the "Joe Cool" charter vessel set sail for the Bahamas, jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday for the trial of 20-year-old Guillermo Zarabozo on charges of murder, kidnapping, robbery and several violations of maritime law.
Prosecutors say Zarabozo and an acomplice tried to hijack the boat to Cuba after hiring for a phony trip to the island of Bimini. When the crew resisted, prosecutors say the pair shot all four and dumped their bodies into the ocean. The victims were never found.
