THE MAYOR ON TRIAL
Jury sent home until Monday
The jury in the criminal theft trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon was dismissed for the day a few minutes before 4 p.m. Friday, with deliberations set to resume at 9 a.m. Monday. Jury deliberations continued well into the afternoon as 12 city residents decide the fate of Dixon, who stands accused of five criminal charges involving theft or embezzlement of gift cards. At about 3:40 p.m., jurors sent a note that read: "Things are getting a little overheated. May we be dismissed for the day?"
