Jury selection completed, opening statements tomorrow morning, in SONY v Tenenbaum

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

According to a tweet from joelfightsback, day was devoted to jury selection, which has been completed, and the opening statements start tomorrow morning, in SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum.

[Ed. note. In view of the large amount of time that was spent in jury selection in a small, simple, case, and the unusual and inappropriate nature of the jury questionnaire the parties had agreed on, I fear that the same kind of "poisoning" of the jury pool took place that took place in Minnesota. I hope I am wrong. -R.B.]
