Timothy P. Cahill delivered the most important stump speech of his life on Thursday, testifying at his own corruption trial that he ran lottery ads in the midst of his race for governor only because he was determined to salvage the agency’s reputation, not his political career.
With his hands draped casually over the witness box, Cahill, a former state treasurer facing up to five years in prison, displayed the smooth self-confidence that helped him rise through the rough world of Quincy city politics to statewide office.

I hope they find him not guilty.
Cahill is just another corrupt Boston poll using the system to advance his own ambitions. i would never vote for this guy.
Everybody deserves a fair trial, but since he is a Massachusetts politician, based on their track record as a group, you have to assume he is guilty until proven innocent. It is just the culture on Beacon Hill, and we all see it in their actions, whether it is getting political supporters jobs when they have no qualifications (paying them with our money that we earn in the jobs we work hard to be qualified for), or stuffing money in their bras, or never showing up at work and collecting three times the pay one would normally receive in that position. Also, you can tell that Cahill is lying - his lips are moving. Send him to jail and make them all think twice about wasting our (taxpayers) money. This all needs to stop.
