FALL RIVER Testimony is finally over in the long-awaited trial of former Mayor Jasiel Correia II, and while the jury still has yet to weigh the evidence, there were more situations revealed last week that have us scratching our heads again.
What about all the people who loved Jasiel Correia?
On the stand, co-conspirator Hildegar Camara testified that he considered Correia to be like a son, and that after meeting him while he was in high school with his daughter, over the years he tried to mentor him.
Joe Macy testified that another of the co-conspirators, Gen Andrade, who ran Correia s political campaigns and even worked as his chief of staff, used to drive him around and feed him. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington described her as mothering Correia. Sure sounds like she loved him.
