(MONTGOMERY, Ala.) - Attorneys in Alabama's gambling corruption retrial are scheduled to start a second day of jury selection in Montgomery.
The first day of jury selection Monday involved interviews with 27 potential jurors.
It lasted until about 7 p.m. The second day Tuesday will involve another group of about 30 potential jurors.
Nearly 200 potential jurors have been called for the retrial.
Attorneys estimate they could pick a dozen jurors Thursday or Friday.
The retrial was necessary because the jury in the first trial couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on all charges.
The defendants on trial are casino owner Milton McGregor, Sen. Harri Anne Smith,
former Sens. Larry Means and Jim Preuitt, casino lobbyist Tom Coker, and casino spokesman Jay Walker.
They are accused of buying and selling votes for pro-gambling legislation.
