U.S. Judge Lewis Kaplan announced the establishment of a 12-person panel that will hear the criminal case against the former CEO of FTX on Wednesday in the U.S. Southern District Court in New York, thus ending the jury selection process earlier on the second day of the trial. During the pre-trial period, nearly 50 people told the court their age, profession, education background, and other details.

Potential jurors include a former prosecutor, a retired correctional officer, a flight attendant, and multiple employees of the subway's northbound commuter rail line. A physician assistant, a librarian, and a nurse will decide whether Sam Bankman-Fried committed fraud.
