Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the ethics trial of Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard have taken their final attempt to sway jurors deliberating the fate of Hubbard.
Hubbard has been portrayed as a greedy man who used the power of his office, sometimes ignoring the warnings of friends, in order to bring $2.3 million in business to his companies. On the other side of the coin his attorney describes him as a citizen legislator trying to earn a living and targeted by overzealous state prosecutors with a strident interpretation of the state ethics law.
The jury will soon have the final say.
