Day in court

Day Five of the trial of Bessemer Councilwoman Louise Alexander is about to begin on the sixth floor of the Bessemer Courthouse, and on the seventh floor, the future of electronic charity bingo should be made more clear.

Alexander is expected to take the stand in Circuit Judge Teresa Petelos' courtroom at some point today to defend herself.

Circuit Judge Eugene Verin is expected to clarify his position on charity bingo in the Bessemer Cutoff during a hearing.
