The first witness in the civil corruption trial against Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith testified Friday.
Glennon testified that applications the sheriff approved in his time there were mainly for VIPs like professional athletes and business owners.
With a libel verdict, the sheriff, who is not running for re-election, would lose her job and would be barred from holding public office again.“So far, what I’ve seen of opening arguments and this first witness I would say this that is a big waste of time and this is going to come out as a big nothing at the end of the day,” the observer said.
