SAN DIEGO -- A jury of eight men and four women was selected Friday to hear the federal corruption trial of San Diego City Councilmen Ralph Inzunza and Michael Zucchet and two other men.

Panelists include a retired Navy commander, an insurance underwriter and a retired Marine Corps bugler.

Six alternates were also selected to sit as jurors on the trial, which is expected to last three months.

Zucchet and Inzunza are accused of taking bribes from a strip club owner in return for help in repealing the city's "no-touch" nude dancing ordinance.

Las Vegas lobbyist Lance Malone, and David Cowan, a former aide to the late Councilman Charles Lewis, are also on trial on federal charges.

Opening statements are scheduled for Tuesday morning.

A man who ended up on the panel called the adult entertainment business "revolting," saying it wasn't his type of entertainment.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller told jurors that the trial would be in session Tuesday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1:30 p.m.

The schedule was crafted in part so that Inzunza and Zucchet could make regularly scheduled 2 p.m. council meetings.

The defendants were indicted on Aug. 28, 2003, three months after FBI agents raided offices at San Diego City Hall and the three strip clubs owned by Michael Galardi of Las Vegas.

Zucchet, Inzunza and Lewis, along with Galardi, Malone and John D'Intino, a night manager at the Kearny Mesa Cheetah's club, were indicted on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

An extortion charge was later added against Zucchet, Inzunza and Malone, while Cowan is charged with lying to the FBI.

A second indictment, issued last October, alleges that public officials in the case took in more than $70,000 and that Inzunza was the leader of the alleged conspiracy.

The councilmen have said any monies received were in the form of legal campaign contributions.

D'Intino and Galardi pleaded guilty in September 2003 to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and the club owner is expected to be key witness for the prosecution.

Miller ruled earlier that secretly recorded conversations involving Lewis -- who was 37 when he died last Aug. 8 of gastrointestinal bleeding brought on by cirrhosis of the liver -- can be used at trial.
