McMahan Jury Resumes Deliberations
Jurors resumed deliberations today in the federal corruption trial of Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan and his wife, Lori, after failing to reach a verdict in eight hours of discussions on Friday.
Jurors were given the case about 3 p.m. Friday after four hours of closing arguments from prosecutors and defense attorneys.
After prosecutors finished their arguments, U.S. District Judge James H. Payne dismissed one of the nine counts against the couple.
Eight felony counts, including conspiracy, mail fraud and accepting bribes, stem from the McMahans' association with southeast Oklahoma businessman Steve Phipps and could mean prison terms for them.
