The Rick Mariano trial resumed Friday with two witnesses saying Mariano laundered checks and another changing her story on the stand, albiet not in a “Stop Snitchin’” kind of way.
The trial’s expected to last about two or three more days, and if the early morning testimony is any indicator, we’re going to have the best two final trial days ever. From the Inky’s Mariano Trial blog:
Anna Davila has just started testifying. She’s recounting how Louis Chartock was yelling at her on the phone over some L&I paperwork when she was an aide in Mariano’s office. She’s using bad words. The F word, the B word, the S word. “The same words, over and over again,” Davilla said.
Then, she testifies, the councilman berated her about her efforts to help Lou Chartock.
She said the councilman told her, “He is a good friend of mine. He has done for me. I owe him. If you can’t get this fucking shit done, get the fuck out.”
Later, she says, he called her “an incompetent bitch.”
As opposed to Rick Mariano, master of competence, except in walking past gates without being injured.
