Bridgegate attorney: Star witness is 'Bernie Madoff of N.J. politics'

After six weeks and 35 witnesses, the defense and prosecution in the Bridgegate trial finished summations Monday, handing the case over to seven women and five men who will determine the fate of two former Christie administration insiders charged in a bizarre scheme of Jersey-style political retribution.

In a dramatic final day, defense attorney Michael Critchley decried the government's chief witness as someone with "a sick mind" whom he dubbed as the "Bernie Madoff of New Jersey politics."
