>>> NOW FOR OUR TOP STORIES.

>> THE DEFENSE IS UP IN THE CON ED CORRUPTION TRIAL.

FORMER EXECUTIVES AND LOBBYISTS ARE ACCUSED OF -- MICHAEL MADIGAN.

THE DEFENSE HAD PUT A KEY PLAYER ON THE WITNESS STAND.

>> YES, THEY DID PUT SOMEBODY ON THE WITNESS STAND.

ONE OF THE FOUR DEFENDANTS HAD HIS BRIBERY CHARGES.

THE PROSECUTION WILL GET THE CHANCE TO EXAMINE HER.

BUT NOT YET, THOUGH.

>> I AM SURE THAT DEFENSE ATTORNEYS WILL SADDLE UP FOR THAT.

>> SAID SHE WAS AGING HERSELF BY REVEALING THAT SHE WAS REALLY INTO THE 1968 OLYMPICS.

WE OFTEN HEAR TESTIMONY FROM SPRINGFIELD ON LEGISLATION, AND THIS WAS PART OF THAT.

SHE LOOKED AT THE JURY AS SHE TALKED.

UNLIKE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER PREVIOUS WITNESSES, DO YOU REMEMBER?

SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD GO OUT TO ASSESS STORM DAMAGE.

SHE SAW HOW HURT THEY WERE BY POWER OUTAGES.

SHE THOUGHT THEY WOULD UPDATE THINGS WHEN THE LEGISLATION PASSED.

AND THE JURY JUST GOT STARTED THIS AFTERNOON, SO WE ARE SURE WE WILL GET INTO IT.

MADIGAN SAYS THAT THEY HAD A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP.

SHE DID TALK ABOUT HOW SHE WAS CLOSE WITH MADIGAN.

THE DEFENDANT SAYS THAT SHE DID NOT FIT IN WITH THE COMPETITIVE CULTURE.

SHE OBSESSIVELY THANKED THEM FOR HELPING WITH PASSED LEGISLATION, AND ON BEHALF OF HER REDHEADED SON WHO WAS NICKNAMED "READ JACK" AND SHE BELIEVED MADIGAN TO BE A CON ED ALLY.

SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE COULD CALL MADIGAN AS SPEAKER TO GET BILLS PASSED.

AGAIN, SHE SAID NO.

>> YOU SAID THERE WAS ANOTHER MAJOR WITNESS.

WHO IS THAT?

>> HE GOT PROMOTED, AND HE WOULD STAND FOR HOURS.

ME TELL YOU.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT HE WAS SUBPOENAED ON BEHALF OF THE PROSECUTION.

HE IS STILL A TOP ENERGY EXECUTIVE.

SO THAT MAY EXPLAIN WHY THINGS GOT PARTICULARLY TESTY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THEY REALLY TRIED TO GET TO THE JUDGE ABOUT CONVERSATIONS WITH McLEAN.

IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FBI SET UP A WIRETAP .

DOMINGUEZ TRIED TO PUSH BACK ON PROSECUTORS.

BASICALLY, HE SAID, BE CAREFUL OR YOU WILL REGRET THAT.

ONE DEFENSE ATTORNEY SAID THAT THAT IS TANTAMOUNT TO A THREAT.

DOMINGUEZ TOLD THE JURY THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HE SAW THAT LOOKED LIKE DRIVING MADIGAN.

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THOUGH, THAT THEY ADMITTED TO DOING JUST THAT.

AND AT MADIGAN'S BEHEST, DOMINGUEZ SAID SEVERAL OF THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE CON ED PAYROLL GO ALONG WITH THAT.

DOMINGUEZ ALSO SAYS THAT HE HAS WORKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

THAT SAID, HE SAID THAT McLEAN WAS A DOUBLE AGENT.

>> WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THINGS RIGHT NOW?

>> THE TRIAL -- TO BE BACK ON THE STAND.

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

>> I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

DOMINGUEZ SAID THAT HIS COMPANY
