A NOVEL DEFENSE: MY CLIENT DIDN’T TAKE THE WHOLE BRIBE: HE ONLY TOOK A LITTLE! “The jury sitting in judgment of City Councilor Chuck Turner began deliberations yesterday after a final bizarre twist in the trial — the accused pol’s lawyer said in his closing remarks that his client took no more than $200 of an alleged $1,000 bribe, that FBI informant Ronald Wilburn pocketed the rest and that Turner never did anything for Wilburn.”
