CHICAGO (AP) - Jury selection in Chicago's biggest organized crime trial in years resumed this morning in a federal courtroom.
Judge James Zagel questioned the anonymous potential jurors on answers they'd given in a written questionnaire. As he did yesterday, Zagel is asking the jurors about how much they know about the case and whether they could be fair.
Judge James Zagel questioned the anonymous potential jurors on answers they'd given in a written questionnaire. As he did yesterday, Zagel is asking the jurors about how much they know about the case and whether they could be fair.
Zagel questioned 49 potential jurors yesterday but he steered clear of any questions about their identities and where they lived.
Zagel previously took the unusual step of issuing a ruling that jurors' identities won't be revealed.
Reputed mob boss Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo and four other defendants have pleaded not-guilty to the charges.

I love Fitz but I wouldn't want to be a juror in this case. The Mafia has been around longer then I've been alive and I want to stay alive. I hope Fitz finds some brave jurors. Now I would change my look and live out of State to be on a Mafia trial. Or it necessary I'd move in with Randall and his family as they would protect me.
