MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Attorneys in the Alabama gambling corruption retrial have arrived at a jury and four alternates Wednesday evening after three days of questioning 84 potential jurors.
Attorneys had been scolded by U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson earlier in the day for veering into their trial arguments during questioning of the candidates.
Defense attorney Bobby Segall opened his questioning of possibly jurors by saying his client, casino owner Milton McGregor, was not guilty of corruption charges.
McGregor and five other defendants are charged with buying and selling votes for pro-gambling legislation.
Lead prosecutor Kendall Day told jurors that that the defense would point to legal dealings in the past, but used a metaphor about a bank robber making legitimate withdrawals in the past to refute that.
