Next week: Closing arguments and Seattle's deputy mayor
Posted by Percy Allen
Before court adjourned at 4:06 p.m., Seattle attorney Paul Lawrence said the city will call Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis as a rebuttal witness on Thursday. His testimony will take about 15-20 minutes and Sonics attorney Brad Keller said he expects to cross examine
Judge Marsha Pechman said both attorneys should review exhibits and make sure they are in proper order during the five-day break.
When the trial resumes Thursday, City Councilmember Nick Licata will be on the stand.
The trial will conclude after testimony from Licata, Ceis and each side gives a closing argument.
