After four weeks and 40 witnesses, testimony is over in the criminal wire fraud trial of Doug Evans, his company Evans Landscaping, and vice president of operations, Jim Bailey. On Friday morning, U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett dismissed jurors for the weekend after the last defense witnesses testified. Jurors will return on Monday morning to listen to several hours of closing arguments, and could begin deliberations late that day. Evans and Bailey both face six charges related to wire fraud -- and as much as 103 years in prison -- for allegedly creating a front company to win minority contracts from the state and city of Cincinnati worth millions.
