MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) - At least one defense attorney in the state's gambling corruption retrial is optimistic that opening arguments will begin this week. Tuesday was the second day of jury selection in Montgomery.
An attorney for Victoryland owner Milton McGregor says it's possible the jury will be seated by Thursday. That would allow opening statements Friday.
"We're not looking for any type of person. We're just trying to make sure that we get a person who will listen to the evidence and be fair and impartial. There is no particular type of person," attorney Joe Espy said.
The first trial ended in two acquittals and a hung jury for seven other defendants. State senators are among those accused of selling their vote on gambling legislation.
