Andrew Lankler, attorney for defendant Vincent Barone, vice president of Testwell Laboratories presents opening arguments to the jurors using a chart of buildings in question at State Supreme court, Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009, in New York. Attorneys for both sides presented opening argument to the jury, in the racketeering trial against the testing company. Prosecutors say Testwell doctored and sometimes simply made up concrete and steel test results for more than 100 projects. The defendants say the disputed results reflect mistakes, minor adjustments or common industry practices.
