Sam Sutter as Boss Hogg
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington used a few pop culture references during the course of the trial. He was reprimanded by Judge Douglas Woodlock for referencing the mob movie, Goodfellas, while cross examining alleged co-conspirator Tony Costa. And when questioning the tax preparer from Liberty Tax Services, he suggested they were the ones with the Liberty, Liberty, Lib-erty jingle (they aren t that s Liberty Mutual insurance).
Still, the image of former District Attorney Sam Sutter, who served an abbreviated term as Fall River mayor after the recall of Will Flanagan, as Boss Hogg, the gluttonous character from the Dukes of Hazzard TV show, was particularly striking.
FALL RIVER In the first week of the Jasiel Correia trial, jurors heard from 20 witnesses, so far focused solely on the charges related to his former app company SnoOwl.
Starting Monday, the government will begin presenting its case against Correia on the government corruption charges that’s the part related to his alleged shakedown of marijuana vendors looking to do business in Fall River.
But in the testimony so far much of it very technical and related to accounting methods and financial records there have been a number of head-scratching moments for those of us watching from home (and there are many of us each day this week, anywhere from 250 to 300 people were logged in to view the trial remotely).
