30-year-old Michael Buttram is charged with killing 19-year-old Tina Cantrell and 41-year-old Mildred Cantrell at their Mableton home in 1999.
Jury selection began in Dahlonega November third and took more than a week. The proceedings were then moved to Marietta where the trial is taking place.
A judge ordered that the jury, which is being sequestered, be picked from outside Cobb County because of pre-trial publicity in the Atlanta area.
The trial is expected to last into next week.
