NEW YORK (AP) — The New York trial of Sen. Bob Menendez grinded to a weeklong break after Manhattan federal court jurors were treated to a brick-by-brick build of the prosecution’s bribery case before getting stuck in an elevator. They won’t return until after Memorial Day next week to hear more evidence in a case that was supposed to last another month, at least.

Nothing in the day’s testimony was of the blockbuster variety before jurors got stuck in an elevator for several minutes late in the day.
