Trial resumes in Erie cop bribery case with fireworks expected
Fireworks were expected today as the county court prepares to resume the bribery trial of Liborio Arnone Frank Scalise and Mike Lockett.

The defense may argue Verga instigated the bribes using his badge as leverage while Mayor Gardner and Police Administrator Purvis review the allegations for truth.
