Bribery Trial Of Ex-Oklahoma Lawmaker To Resume

The bribery trial of former state Rep. Randy Terrill is scheduled to resume.

The trial in Oklahoma County District Court is to begin its second week on Monday.

Terrill -- A Republican -- is charged with offering to set up former Democratic state Sen. Debbe Leftwich with an $80,000-a-year job at the state medical examiner's office in exchange for Leftwich agreeing not to run for re-election in 2010. Leftwich is scheduled to go on trial in December.

Both have pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors allege Terrill wanted a Republican colleague to run for Leftwich's Senate seat.

Former Gov. Brad Henry testified last week that he vetoed bills to create the state job and to divert $90,000 to the agency after learning of an investigation into the alleged scheme.
