LONG BEACH - A jury is deliberating in the trial of a Long Beach official accused of collecting unemployment while working for the city.

Fagan is still in office, but faces seven years if convicted of the charges.
Fagan’s attorney claims the Democrat was set up by Republicans in a so-called political witchhunt.
