Reuters – In a trial of three New York securities traders on insider trading charges, several jurors told the judge on Tuesday they could consider the case separately and impartially from last week’s conviction of high-profile Galleon Group hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam.
Some of the potential jurors, however, were excused for possible bias from sitting for the Manhattan federal court trial of a former Rajaratnam employee, Zvi Goffer, and two other men who have had no association with Galleon.
