ALBANY, N.Y. -- "Been great, looking forward to another day here, proving that we did nothing wrong," said former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.

As Joe Bruno sat and listened, a number of prosecution witnesses detailed the former Senate majority leaders outside business relationships.

Attorney for Wright Investment Services, Helen George was given immunity for her testimony likely because Wright may not have properly filed the proper documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to Bruno's business relationship.

She told the court she was under the impression Bruno had the OK from a legislative ethics committee to work for Wright, then she found out sometime later there wasn't a document to prove it.

"I was surprised. I had it in my mind there had been one," said George.

Bruno said that doesn't mean though, that he did anything wrong.

He said, "There was absolutely nothing that I've seen and I'm not going to discuss witnesses or what's going on at the court, but I have said we broke no laws, and I think what's happening here is a testimony to that."

Bruno apparently sent Wright a $20 million teamsters account and a $4.7 million hotel workers account which prosecutors believe were a conflict because of union interest in legislation.

The defense painted a very different picture.

Bruno attorney Abbe Lowell asked George, "Why was an opinion never sought from the ethics committee?"

Her response, "The relationship between Bruno and Wright was so commonplace."

Now the defense pointed out that a majority of legislators have outside part-time work, even mentioning the Assembly speaker by name.

From there the testimony continued with Marcia White, Bruno's former press security, who was asked about business relationships that she may or may not have known about.

She said, she was never told about any planned publicity, publicity that was later cancelled for Bruno's outside work when that first began.

She said though, she was never told about his outside work.

"My role was basically press security and it dealt with his position as a citizen legislator and quite frankly that was our involvement and it was just...there wasn't time enough in the day to much of anything else other than that," said White.

And yet prosecutors trying to show that White's not knowing about such business relationships means Bruno didn't want people to know.

As witnesses from Wright Investment said no New York state funds were given to any union that was ultimately referred to Wright, but the company's CEO told jurors no one spoke about concealing anything.

"We've had some good days and we're looking forward to some more good days so you have a good day," said Bruno.
