Home Invasion's 2nd Trial Set for Feb. in Conn.

The second defendant charged in a deadly Connecticut home invasion has been scheduled to go on trial Feb. 22.

The trial of Joshua Komisarjevsky will start with jury selection, a process that could take months as prospective jurors are questioned by prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Komisarjevsky is accused of following a mother and her daughters to their Cheshire home. Authorities say he and Steven Hayes tormented the family for hours in July 2007 before killing the mother, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 11-year-old Michaela and 17-year Hayley.

The girls' father, William Petit, was beaten but survived.

A jury convicted Hayes on Oct. 5, and a judge last week sentenced him to death.
