Phillip Stewart , accused of raping a female subordinate last year, will get under way in earnest Monday morning with opening statements to a jury of three-star generals. The eighth and final member of the jury was seated at 8:55 p.m. Saturday after a week of arduous questioning of prospective jurors in a courtroom at Fort Sam Houston.
