Prosecutors disclosed Monday that seven current and former Federal Aviation Administration employees were sent transcripts from last week's opening statements and testimony.
"Hedge funds are the Wild West of our financial markets, " Hatch said in his opening remarks before testimony began in the nearly three-hour hearing, which examined hedge funds and their at times questionable relationships with independent analysts.
However, the new jury would have to review evidence and hear opening statements, closing arguments and witness testimony in a "Cliffs Notes" version of the trial, Romley said.
He began his testimony shortly after Senate Banking Committee Chairman Senator Tim Johnson and ranking member Senator Richard Shelby made their opening comments.
