Yogi Berra

Lawyers for Nicholas Dombek, Damien Boland and brothers Joseph and Alfred Atsus portray Thomas Trotta as a liar, thief and exploiter of children.

Lindsay Berra, granddaughter of baseball Hall of Famer Yogi, and three members of boxing champion Tony Zale's family watched admitted thief Thomas Trotta tell of the thefts that deeply hurt them.

Presiding judge says the case will last into February. Prosecutors say the theft ring operated in six states and the District of Columbia between 1999 and 2019 and collected hundreds of thousands in loot.

Lawyers for suspects and prosecutors will begin choosing a jury in a federal courtroom in Scranton for a trial expected to last at least two weeks.
