Andrew Gillum corruption trial now in jury's hands [View all]

Andrew Gillum’s fate now rests with seven women and five men in a federal courthouse.

On Friday, prosecutors and defense attorneys gave their closing arguments in the corruption trial for Florida’s 2018 Democratic nominee for governor.

A jury now has the job of sorting through the 19 counts against Gillum in a case that federal prosecutors have said is “complicated” and “circumstantial.”

Both Gillum and his “political godmother,” Sharon Lettman-Hicks, are accused of conspiring to steer campaign contributions into their personal accounts.
