Jury selection begins Monday in the trial of two members of the Pagan Motorcycle Club accused of attempted homicide in the beating of a former Pagan last spring.
Matthew Vasquez, 31, of Monessen and Joseph Olinsky III, 46, of McKeesport are the only two allegedly involved in the April 18 beating of former Pagan Troy Harris who rejected plea deals offered late last year.
Seven men were charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault after allegedly entering the Slovak Club in Charleroi last spring and attacking Harris.
In addition to Vasquez and Olinsky, there are four who have pleaded guilty and one who is cooperating with the prosecution.
