The start of testimony this morning in the trial of the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller was delayed for 40 minutes because two jurors were stuck on the Green Line and had to walk to Suffolk Superior Court.

The delay came on the most highly anticipated day of the kidnapping trial, when the defendant's former wife is expected to take the stand.

"For those of you who had to abandon the Green Line and walk here I appreciate your efforts this morning," Judge Frank Gaziano said when the jury finally took its seat at 9:40 a.m.

According to the MBTA's website, the Green Line was experiencing 20 to 25 minute delays through Copley Square because of a signal problem.
