Day 48: Bulging jeans, bank accounts, racial slurs
Jurors watched video Friday of an FBI agent smuggling $90,000 through airport security in a test aimed at combating defense claims about a Kilpatrick bagman.
The video was a highlight of testimony Friday, which also featured racially charged text messages sent between contractor Bobby Ferguson and his co-defendant in the City Hall corruption trial, ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Also Friday, an IRS agent detailed the autopsy she performed on Bernard Kilpatrick’s finances in conjunction with the City Hall corruption probe.
Kwame Kilpatrick and Bobby Ferguson outside federal court.
Bobby Ferguson used racial terms to complain about a white-owned construction company that he later allegedly extorted $5 million from, according to text messages shown to jurors Friday.
