MADISON (WKOW) -- Jury selection starts Monday in a Madison murder trial.
Dennis Hassel, 57, is charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide in the strangulation of 76-year-old Larry Ewing. Ewing was killed in his Sheboygan Avenue apartment nearly two years ago - April 18, 2015.
Police say Hassel and Ewing were acquaintances and a GPS tracking device put Hassel in Ewing's apartment around the time of the murder. Hassel wore the electronic monitoring bracelet because he's a registered sex offender.
In an exclusive jailhouse interview with 27 News, Hassel claimed he had nothing to do with Ewing's death.
