Jury selection will be delayed until Tuesday morning in the case of a former Kansas University student accused of injuring his ex-girlfriend during an October 2007 attack.

Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild agreed Monday morning to have 100 potential jurors in the case go home and return their completed questionnaires later in the afternoon.

Jury selection originally was scheduled to begin Monday morning in the case of Matthew Jaeger, who’s charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated burglary and making a criminal threat.

Some of the potential jurors said they never received the questionnaires in the mail at home. Fairchild said others did not bring their completed questionnaires with them to the law enforcement center Monday morning.

And also, defense attorney Pedro Irigonegaray said some questionnaires did not allow a space for jury candidates to sign their names on the form. Attorneys use the questionnaires to find out information about potential jurors and to help speed up the selection process.

Jaeger’s defense attorneys have argued the case has received widespread media attention, which could make it harder for both sides to pick an impartial jury. Fairchild Monday morning agreed to send jury candidates home to complete the questionnaire by this afternoon, and jury selection will begin Tuesday.

Potential jurors will answer 13 pages of questions that range from how much news coverage of the case they’ve seen to whether they have a bumper sticker on their car, and if so, what it says.

Jaeger’s charges in the case stem from an incident on Oct. 9, 2007. According to the victim’s testimony during a preliminary hearing in February 2008, Jaeger broke into her apartment in the 1200 block of George Court and became enraged after finding her with another man.

She said Jaeger, who’s trained in jiu-jitsu, choked her until she became unconscious. When she came to, she had massive injuries to her vagina and pelvic region. Prosecutors allege Jaeger then dragged the woman down the stairs, forced her into the back seat of his car, which his friend was driving, and fled the scene.

Lawrence police officers later stopped the vehicle near Sixth and Florida streets, discovering the extent of the woman’s injuries when she stepped out of the car and began hemorrhaging from her crotch area.

Defense attorneys have previously argued that Jaeger found the woman in that condition and was simply trying to get her help when officers pulled the vehicle over.
