Alabama's Bingo Corruption Trial

  MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The judge in the Alabama gambling corruption retrial  says he hopes to have a jury seated by the end of Wednesday.

Meanwhile, attorneys are using the third day of jury selection as a chance to make their cases to potential jurors.

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.

Attorneys questioned 55 potential jurors of a pool of around 200 on Monday and Tuesday.
