A.C. councilman's corruption trial nears end

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) - March 4, 2011

/*Marty Small*/ is accused of tampering with absentee ballots in the June 2009 Democratic mayoral primary in which Small was trounced by incumbent /*Lorenzo Langford*/.

Small was acquitted of similar charges in 2006 involving vote-getting in a mayoral election in which he was not a candidate.

Small's lawyer has told jurors the entire case is built solely on the word of a cocaine pusher who cut a plea deal for cooperating with prosecutors.

The testimony has spanned five months.
