SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 3– 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.

On March 3, three opening statements -
David Dahlquist out of Chicago for the US, Jonathan Hatch
for NY and the other states, and Latham's Marriott for
Live Nation. The first witness was supposed to take the
stand after that, but Judge Subramanian cited technical
issues and sent the jurors home.
