Testimony completed

Fifteen witnesses testified. Hundreds of exhibits were placed on the record. Closing arguments are scheduled tomorrow morning in Plateau Excavation against Oconee County and Talbert and Bright. Once the judge lays out the law to the jury, the jurors will have the case and begin deliberating in their private room. At stake is whether Oconee and its former airport consultant company, Talbert and Bright, will owe damages to Plateau, the contractor awarded the grading contract for what turned out to be a troubled runway extension in 2009. And to be determined is whether Oconee County is due any damages from Plateau as the result of its cross-complaint against Plateau.
