November 4th, 2026

Jury selection has started for the case of the people vs. Mark Wesley Rolfe.

Judge Prill opened the morning welcoming the potential jurors to the courtroom and outlined the process and purpose of a jury trial. Judge Prill also gave further information to the potential jurors of what may disqualify them from being a juror for the case.

For those unfamiliar with the case, Rolfe is currently facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including 15 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and 10 counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.

This is following a rejection of a plea agreement presented by the prosecution on October 19th, 2026.

Judge Prill stated the expected timeline for the case will be approximately 4 to 5 days of trial.
