JCII Closing Arguments Underway

Closing arguments are underway in the trial of Correia v United States in Courtroom 1 of the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston's Seaport District. 

 

Federal Attorney Zach Hayfer told the jury that the Federal Prosecutors have shown the jury ''witness after witness'', ''record after record'' and ''exhibit after exhibit'' to fund what prosecutors have long called the former Fall River Mayor's ''lavish lifestyle''.

 

Hayfer called Correia's behavior during the Marijuana portion of the case, in which the former Mayor is accused of bribery and extortion; Hayfer called it ''Old School pay to play political corruption''.
