· KRGV (NBC 5)
The federal bribery trial of Veronica O’Caña, linked to a contract with Mission Consolidated Independent School District, has concluded its testimonies, with jury deliberations set to begin. O’Caña faces multiple charges, including bribery and witness tampering. Key witness Antonio Gonzalez III testified that he paid O’Caña's brother, Jorge, $30,000 to influence a board vote in favor of his company, Performance Services Inc. This included a $25,000 cash payment on the night the contract was awarded. Despite the alleged bribes, the project was ultimately stalled. Gonzalez, who has pleaded guilty, cooperated with the FBI after personal motivations arose following his father's death.
