The judge has ordered tight security and is not identifying the jurors by name.
“I think this level of security is unusual on any level, but you're dealing with a case where witness intimidation, to say the least, has already been extreme,” legal analyst Tony Scheer said.
Testimony is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on Monday.
