This trial’s gone from political corruption to witchcraft.
Ex-state Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. dramatically donned rosary beads at his embezzlement trial yesterday — as he accused prosecutors and an FBI agent of using the occult to affect the jury’s deliberations.
“We’re in the homestretch, and so we’re pulling it [the rosary] out because we know that the prosecutors are sitting in a certain seating arrangement that I recognize as being a certain ritual,” Espada bizarrely told reporters after placing the religious beads around his neck in front of Brooklyn federal court.
