Ravens' Corey Fuller to Stand Trial Today

Tallahassee, FL (WJZ) Jury selection begins today in Florida in the trial of Ravens' cornerback Corey Fuller.

The 10 year-old NFL veteran was charged with illegally hosting a high-stakes poker game and possession of a firearm.

The charges stem from a shootout inside his Tallahassee home last January in which Fuller says he exchanged gunfire with an intruder.

His trial was delayed to allow him to play the entire season with the Ravens.

If Fuller is convicted on the gambling charge, Fuller could face as much as 5 years in prison and $5,000 fine.
