Former Oakland mayor's calls played at bribery and corruption trial
Photos, phone calls and recorded conversations took center stage Thursday in the corruption trial of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. Prosecutors say the evidence shows how Thao and the Duong family allegedly worked together for mutual benefit. Jurors in the corruption trial of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao have heard recordings that prosecutors claim show ties to David and Andy Duong. The recordings were played out during the trial, which also included photos of Thao, her partner and co-defendant Andre Jones, and the Duongs on a luxury-class flight to Vietnam. The government also detailed how the Duong paid the airfare for Thao's teenage son on a vacation to Thailand following a trade mission there. In another recorded conversation, Andy Duongo complained to Councilmember Kevin Jenkins that Thao was delaying a city purchase of 300 container homes, a $90 million venture allegedly linked to the DuONG company. The trial also saw a change in the jury, with one member replaced by an alternate.
