A jury is likely to be seated Tuesday in the court-martial of Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher at San Diego's Navy base.

Gallagher claims disgruntled platoon mates fabricated the charges.
Seven Marines, four sailors and a Navy SEAL were questioned Monday during jury selection. Most served in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Each said they thought it possible that Navy SEALS could lie or make false allegations.
