Three years after their arrests, seven people linked to a Puerto Rican terrorist group go on trial this week in Hartford, Conn., in the $7-million Wells Fargo robbery--the second largest in U.S. history. Jury selection begins today in U.S. District Court and is expected to last one to three weeks, according to prosecutors.
