The mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, is urging residents to remain calm as two high profile court cases with racial overtones go to trial.

Jury selection began today for former North Charleston police officer Michael Slager’s trial in the shooting death of an unarmed black motorist.

Next week, jury selection resumes for Dylann Roof’s federal death penalty trial. He is accused of shooting nine black parishioners at a Charleston church.
