Bakker trial witness details lavish PTL spending
PTL associate David Taggart testified that Jim Bakker spent large sums on fur coats, jewelry, vacations, and cars from December 1983 to January 1985. The prosecution outlined bonuses and lavish purchases as Bakker faces 24 fraud and conspiracy counts. Courtroom tensions rose as critics shouted at Bakker and a juror’s family member was escorted out after a comment.
