The federal bribery trial of Veronica O’Caña, accused of rigging a contract for Mission Consolidated Independent School District, has concluded its testimonies, with jury deliberations set to begin. Key witness Antonio Gonzalez III testified about a scheme involving $30,000 in bribes, including a $25,000 cash payment to O’Caña on the night the contract was awarded. Gonzalez claimed he was directed by O’Caña to ensure Performance Services Inc. received favorable treatment. Despite the alleged bribes, the contract was stalled by the purchasing department. Gonzalez, who pleaded guilty, cooperated with the FBI after his father's death in 2018.
