Newman for the Defense: Paul Newman’s legal rematch begins with jury selection Wednesday in Bridgeport, Conn. Newman is being sued by a Westport deli owner who wants a share of Newman’s food business because he claims he helped develop it. The first trial, which featured testimony from Newman himself, ended in a mistrial in 1988 after jurors were inadvertently given documents that had been ruled inadmissible. Newman denies that the deli owner helped develop his salad dressing and that he promised him a cut of his company’s profits.
