Attorneys are expected to begin picking a jury Monday in the trial of Brian Lee Randone, a former reality TV contestant accused of murdering and torturing his adult film actress girlfriend in Monrovia in 2009.
Randone, 47, is charged with murder and torture for allegedly killing Felicia Lee, according to court records. He was arrested in September 2009 after Lee, his girlfriend, was found beaten and choked by investigators in the apartment they shared, the Associated Press reported.
Randone was a former contestant on the reality show The Sexiest Bachelor in America, the AP reported. Lee, a Singapore-born adult film actress who also had credits in movies like Rush Hour 2 and The Fast and the Furious, used the screen name "Felicia Tang," according to the Internet Movie Database.
