One of the developers who gave Mayor Sheila Dixon gift cards is expected to testify at her trial.
Prosecutors allege Dixon used gift cards for the needy during personal shopping sprees while the defense says the mayor believed they were intended for her use. She faces a seven count indictment in the case.
Her attorneys have said Dixon's ex-boyfriend, developer Ronald Lipscomb, had anonymously given her gift cards for her to use as she pleased. Defense attorney Arnold Weiner has said developer Patrick Turner also donated gift cards, and Dixon confused those with the cards given by Lipscomb.
Turner is expected to take the stand on Monday when the trial resumes.
