DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) — Prosecutors in the corruption trial of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price are down to their final witness.
The trial entered its seventh week Monday, with much of the testimony centered around Price’s tax returns. IRS agents testified to how much money he did not report on his taxes over a 10-year period, saying he failed to report more than $1 million.
On Tuesday, the government will call the lead FBI agent who investigated Price starting in 2012 to the witness stand. He took over for a previous investigator who had a stroke during the investigation.
After his testimony, Price’s lawyers say they’ll need roughly two weeks to present their case.
Price is charged with 11 counts of bribery, mail fraud, and tax evasion. If convicted, he’d likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
