Ellsworth denies wrongdoing, arguing he wasn’t personally responsible for procurement rules as Senate president. Witnesses painted a troubling picture — including testimony that Ellsworth asked someone to backdate a bid — while the defense pushed for a mistrial over a prosecutor’s alleged misstep. With Ellsworth’s term ending in January and his recent election loss, the stakes are high: conviction could mean up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. The trial’s closing days loom.
