Trial deepens in McDonnell case with love letter testimony
Former Gov. Bob McDonnell testified in a high profile public corruption trial. The defense highlighted his lonely marriage and Maureen McDonnell's volatile behavior. He described late work hours and moving to a church rectory to avoid conflict. Witnesses portrayed Maureen as controlling and combative while denying a sexual relationship with Jonnie Williams. Jurors consider whether marital discord undermines conspiracy charges tied to Williams' gifts and loans. Public reaction in Richmond shows mixed views of guilt and judgment.
