Trial underway in former New Mexico state senator corruption case

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – Opening statements in the corruption trial of former New Mexico state Senator Phil Griego were delivered Tuesday. He is accused of using his power in office to pocket $50,000 on a real estate deal.
The prosecution opened up saying the case is quite simple and that its all about a payday for the former senator. The defense, on the other hand, says too many high ranking state officials have had their hands in the case.
