ATLANTA (AP) - A Chicago TV newswoman testified Wednesday that former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell always carried plenty of cash while the two enjoyed a romantic relationship.
Prosecutors at the federal corruption trial allege that Marion Brooks, 39, went on frequent trips with the mayor, including a Paris getaway. The prosecution wants to convince the jury that Campbell, 52, paid for the rendezvous with bribe money from city contractors.
Asked on the stand if Campbell ever used a credit card for hotel rooms and other expenses, Brooks said: "He always had cash."
