The trustee suing New York Mets principal owner Fred Wilpon and family in an attempt to recover alleged profits from Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme scored a modest victory Wednesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff granted trustee Irving Picard's request to have the trial, which is set for March 19, heard before a jury. Attorneys for Wilpon and brother-in-law Saul Katz argued the judge ought to decide the case if it goes unsettled beforehand.

    you have to have no bias to get on a jury, right?

    what are we talking here... all Yankee fans?

    The Wilpons are out of order! I wonder if the money in their defense fund is going to be decreasing thirty percent like the Mets payroll in a show of solidarity for Mets' fans? I doubt it.
