Jury To Reconvene For Closing Arguments In Trial Of Bosworth

Associated Press0

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Testimony in the trial of former U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth has ended, and the jury will reconvene next week to hear closing arguments.

Bosworth’s defense team finished calling witnesses Friday afternoon before the jury was sent home for the long weekend. The proceedings will begin again Wednesday.

The Sioux Falls physician is accused of election law violations that include being out of the country during a time when her petitions to get on the ballot say she was gathering signatures.

Bosworth took the stand Friday. She has admitted she was out of the country at that time.

Under state law, the person circulating petitions must witness the signings from registered voters. Bosworth’s defense says she made a mistake by listening to the advice of former attorney Joel Arends.
