Lawyers overseeing the corruption trial of former state Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver picked a jury on Monday.
The 12-person jury includes a retired flight attendant, a retired teacher and a nurse in Mt. Sinai’s critical care department.
The retrial, which kicks off with opening arguments on April 30, is expected to last six to eight weeks.
Silver, 74, is being tried — again — for selling his office in exchange for $4 million in kickbacks.
His 2015 conviction was overturned by an appeals court due to a US Supreme Court’s recent ruling that narrowed the definition of bribery.
