Jury selection is expected to begin next week for a group of men accused of racketeering and conspiracy charges as alleged members of the Buck Wild gang, which has been tied to at least 24 shootings and seven murders in Palm Beach County.
Circuit Judge John Kastrenakes on Monday heard several pre-trial motions in the case and set more hearings for Thursday.
Authorities last year arrested eight men alleged to be part of the group, capping a two-year investigation into what investigators allege were a string of drug sales, robberies and other violent crimes the gang members committed to finance an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Kastrenakes told attorneys in the case to plan to begin picking jurors on April 25 for the trials of six of the eight men. The other two will face trial separately.
The joint trial for the six is expected to last two months
