In Live Nation Antitrust Trial Jury Selection Replete with Whispered Sidebars

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 2–  The United States versus Live Nation trial began on March 2 with jury selection, before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Arun Subramanian.  

 In the run-up, the parties and some non-parties like counsel to Irving Azoff, arguing for sealing and redaction of documents. As it has done in other SDNY cases, Inner City Press anticipates filing when necessary to unseal. 

Inner City Press, which will live tweet the trial, was there, as the pool of potential jurors were through numerous whispered sidebars out of the hearing of the public and Press whittled down to the 12 that will serve.
