TULSA, OK -- Jury selection began on Monday in the trial of Raymond Johnson.  He's accused in the gruesome, double murder of a Tulsa mother and her baby daughter.

Johnson is facing two counts of first degree murder in the June 2007 deaths of 24-year-old Brooke Whitaker and seven-month-old Kya.   

Police say Johnson told them he hit Brooke with a hammer and then poured gasoline all over her home and set it on fire.
