CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A federal jury in Corpus Christi is poised to
begin deliberations in the trial of an Austin lawyer charged in a South Texas
judicial corruption case with racketeering.
Marc Rosenthal's case could go to the jury in Corpus Christi as early as
Wednesday.
The prosecution completed presenting rebuttal witnesses Tuesday to respond
to Rosenthal's own testimony. Prosecutors had originally rested last week.
Rosenthal is accused of bribing former state District Judge Abel Limas, who
failed to advance beyond the primary in his 2008 re-election bid. Rosenthal
allegedly sought favorable rulings from Limas before the jurist left the bench
at the end of 2008 and also offered Limas a job.
Limas has already pleaded guilty to racketeering and awaits sentencing.
