MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) - A jury of 12 and four alternates is ready to go in the gambling corruption retrial. Opening arguments are set to begin Thursday morning.
The jury was struck just after 6:30pm Wednesday. The process started Monday.
The case involves two former and one current state senator. They are accused of soliciting or accepting bribes in exchange for their vote gambling friendly legislation. Victoryland owner Milton McGregor is among those charged.
The first trial ended last summer with two acquittals and a hung jury for seven other defendants. The retrial is expected to last about two months.
