Former NYC Top Cop Kerik Beginning Trial Triathlon

WHITE PLAINS (CBS) ― Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik is beginning what could be a triathlon of federal trials.

Jury selection starts Tuesday in a corruption case that claims Kerik accepted renovations to his Bronx co-op in exchange for vouching for a company that wanted to do business with the city.

The 54-year-old Kerik has pleaded not guilty.

A second trial, on tax charges, and a third that claims he lied to the White House are to follow.

Kerik's defense is barred from making specific references to the 9/11 terror attack that made Kerik a national figure and brought him glowing reviews. The judge ruled last month that the attack was irrelevant to the case.

It's not known if Kerik or former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, his mentor, will testify.

Kerik was the NYPD Commissioner from 2000 to 2001.
