The two civilians were killed as they loaded their car for a trip and the officers were shot as they responded to the scene.
The jury will hear evidence to determine Raymond’s fitness – whether he understands the charges and can instruct a lawyer on how to defend him.
Four men and eight women were chosen for the jury, while two women were chosen as alternates.
A new jury will have to be chosen when the case goes to trial.
