CENTRAL ISLIP, NY(TIP): U.S. District Judge Joan M. Azrack on Thursday, June 28 set Oct. 9 as the date for the retrial of former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and his wife, Linda, on corruption charges.

The Judge also said at the federal court in Central Islip that jury selection for the new trial will happen in September at a date yet to be determined.  Eastern District prosecutors said Thursday, June 28 that the retrial will take four to six weeks,

Azrack declared a mistrial in the case on May 31 after the jury foreman sent a note saying he wished to be excused because he could no longer carry out his duty after nine days of deliberations.

Prosecutors Catherine Mirabile and Lara Treinis Gatz said they plan to retry the Manganos on all the charges they were indicted on. The charges involved what officials asserted was a political corruption case, involving an illegal stream-of benefits scheme between the Manganos and once prominent restaurateur Harendra Singh.
