Screening Begins For Jurors In Carona Trial

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) ― A federal judge has started screening possible jurors for the public corruption trial of former Orange County sheriff Michael Carona.

U.S. District Judge Andrew J. Guilford asked potential panelists to fill out a 14-page questionnaire on Friday detailing their knowledge of the case against Carona, who is accused of pocketing cash and gifts in exchange for political favors.

Carona, who resigned from office in January, was indicted last year on charges of public corruption, witness tampering and fraud. He has pleaded not guilty.

The questionnaires will be used to narrow the jury pool. The selection process is set to begin on Oct. 28, followed by the trial.
