Yonkers corruption trial: Jury will resume deliberations Monday
The Journal News

“Let our people goooo! for today.”
That was the message from the federal jury in the corruption case against former Yonkers Councilwoman Sandy Annabi and onetime city GOP boss Zehy Jereis, which ended its first day of deliberations Thursday, showing signs that it would take its time to reach a verdict while perhaps feeling weary after the five-week trial.
The jury, which will not return until Monday, did ask for testimony relating to a Yonkers home that prosecutors said Jereis helped Annabi purchase, and for an afternoon break with outdoor access. They were denied a request for an index of the exhibits.
