Defense Starts For Paul Alfonsi In Bribery Case
Defense for Assemblyman Paul Alfonsi charged with bribery began as Circuit Judge William Sachtsen denied a directed verdict motion. Key witnesses included Theodore Cormaney and G H Bakke as arguments over the $100 check from Anthony Wise were aired. Alfonsi contends the fund was expense money, not a bribe, while prosecutors call it part of an agreement to push an accelerated highway bill.
