GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - The stepfather of a toddler dubbed
"Baby Grace" after her unidentified remains were discovered in
2007 faces trial on a capital murder charge.
     
Jury selection was scheduled to begin Tuesday in Galveston for
Royce Clyde Zeigler II of Spring.
     
His wife, 21-year-old Kimberly Dawn Trenor, in February was
convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison over
her daughter's death during a violent discipline session.
     
The body of the 2-year-old girl, later identified as Riley Ann
Sawyers, was discovered in October 2007 in a plastic box on an
island in Galveston Bay.
     
News accounts of the battered young victim led to some of her
relatives in Mentor, Ohio, being located and helping to identify
the child.
