Teresa Jacobo wrapped up her testimony yesterday in the Bell trial, and indicted former council member George Mirabal is testifying now.
Mirabel is pretty much echoing Jacobo: I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong, I thought it was okay because the city attorney said so, and I did a lot of work outside of meetings for the city.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Edward Miller questioned Mirabal about the day shortly after his 2010 arrest that he voluntarily told prosecutors that no work was done on authorities outside of meetings.
Mirabal said that if he had made such a statement, it was incorrect. He said he couldn’t remember what was said back then and “might have heed and hawed.”
“So it’s easy to remember now?” Miller asked.
“Yes, actually.”
“More than two years after charges have been filed, it’s easier for you to remember now that you did work outside of the meetings for the Public Finance Authority?”
“Yes, sir.”
