A jury was chosen Wednesday for the federal bribery trial of U.S. Sen Bob Menendez, which means opening arguments have begun.
The jury consists of 12 jurors and 6 alternates. They will have to decide if the three-term New Jersey senator is guilty of bribery charges. The jurors were selected from a pool of 150.
All had filed into Manhattan federal court over the last three days. The pool of jurors included a standup comedian, musicians and a pastor.
