According to the prosecution’s first witness in the trial of former state treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, the mood at the Massachusetts State Lottery turned tense in the summer before Cahill’s November 2010 defeat in a bid for governor.
The attorney general alleges that Cahill and campaign treasurer Scott Campbell conspired to coordinate lottery ads with the campaign to aid Cahill, a Democrat turned independent. Both men have pleaded not guilty to two counts of conspiracy and a purchasing violation. Cahill pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of using his official office for an unwarranted privilege.
