It is the City’s director of finance in the stand.

She’s now being cross-examined.

[Taylor Johnson @TaylorKCTV5]

Court is back in session. The defense has a witness on the stand.

During recess we spoke with Mayor Lucas and he told us he finds the hearing to be a waste of time. He said he would rather sit down with the Board of Police Commissioners to get things figured out
