Testimony resumed Tuesday morning in the John Swallow public-corruption trial, with Paul Nelson — a security expert who worked for Marc Sessions Jenson, one of the state's key witnesses — back on the witness stand for additional cross-examination by the defendant's lawyer.

Nelson, who is also a cousin to Brett Tolman, a former U.S. attorney for Utah, told the jury Friday about the alleged arm-twisting that saw Jenson paying tens of thousands to Tim Lawson, the so-called "fixer" for ex-Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. Lawson asserted he had been sent to help Jenson work out his legal troubles with the attorney general's office.

Nelson told the jury he knew Swallow from GOP political circles and had supported Swallow's congressional bid in the early 2000s.

He also testified to seeing Swallow twice at the luxury Southern California resort Pelican Hill in 2009 and said that by that time it was "common knowledge" that Swallow was Shurtleff's heir apparent and would run for the attorney general's seat.

Swallow has pleaded not guilty in 3rd District Court to 13 felony and misdemeanor charges, stemming from allegations of fostering a pay-to-play climate inside the attorney general's office.

The latest from Day 5 of the trial:

4 p.m.

An FBI forensic accountant testified about her review of payments Marc Jenson made to Tim Lawson between 2007 and 2010 that included funds to pay for plane tickets that John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff used to travel to Pelican Hill

Heidi Ransdell said she found 18 payments were made to Lawson — most in the form of bank wire transfers — that totaled more than $134,000.

Ransdell said she also reviewed receipts for the villas where Jenson hosted Shurtleff and Swallow, paying for their lodging, meals, golf and other amenities. Overall, she said, the trips in May and June 2009 cost at least $6,000 each.

Under cross-examination by Swallow's attorney Cara Tangaro, however, Ransdell acknowledged that most of the receipts provide no proof of Swallow's direct expenses, including expensive steak and pasta dinners and glasses of Grey Goose vodka. The only direct receipts Tangaro noted were for massages Swallow and his wife had at the resort in July 2009.

Tangaro also asked if Ransdell was able to track any payments from Jenson to Swallow.

"No money went from Jenson to Mr. Swallow," she said.

12:25 p.m.

Prosecutors made quick work of one witness Tuesday, with narrow testimony from Salt Lake City lawyer Helen Redd about a 2009 surprise phone call she got from Mark Shurtleff.

Redd is a longtime friend of Marc Sessions Jenson and one of the attorneys who helped him beat the 2011 criminal charges related to his failed Mount Holly golf and ski resort development near Beaver.

In 2009, Redd told the jury, she got a call from Jenson's phone. She said, "Hi Marc," when she answered, expecting it to be him. It wasn't, Redd testified, it was Shurtleff.

Redd testified that Shurtleff had called because Jenson said if Shurtleff was planning a run for the Senate, he needed to know Redd and might get help from her in Holladay. (Redd wasn't asked, but that's because she has been involved in GOP politics for many years.)

Redd told the jury that Shurtleff said he — as well as other unspecified people — was at Pelican Hill, meeting Jenson's influential friends and raising money for a Senate campaign.

Defense attorney Scott C. Williams didn't ask Redd any questions Tuesday. He told the court he might, however, call her at a later time.

9:50 a.m.

During his second day on the stand, Paul Nelson told the jury he thought Mark Shurtleff and his so-called "fixer," Tim Lawson, were running a scam on his longtime friend and employer, Marc Sessions Jenson.

Jenson was paying Lawson for access to the three-time attorney general for help resolving a 2005 securities-fraud case — an arrangement both Jenson and Nelson testified was made at Shurtleff's behest.

"I thought that was odd," Nelson said, adding that he was troubled that Shurtleff didn't denounce Lawson when questioned about him.

Swallow's defense attorney Scott C. Williams asked if Nelson saw or heard that Swallow had played a role in the Lawson deal.

"I don't think so," Nelson said.

On a scale of zero to five, do you think politicians are generally corrupt?

That's one of the nearly 120 questions posed to the pool of 205 potential jurors called for the John Swallow public-corruption trial.

The questionnaire, which defense attorneys sought to keep private before the Feb. 7 start of the trial, was made public last week after testimony got underway.

Most of the questions are fairly standard, asking about education, family or medical situations, occupations, church affiliations and biases about the courts or law enforcement.

But near the end, the questions turn political.

In addition to asking for an opinion on corruption, the survey asks if potential jurors believe most politicians will violate the law "if it suits their political purpose," and whether they believe that campaign donors are motivated by a need to get something in return.

Potential jurors also were asked if they had ever donated to a political campaign, if they affiliate with a political party and whether politicians should be allowed to socialize or ever "get anything of value from a member of the public." The latter is a clear nod to the gift charges filed against Swallow.

Buried in the 22-page questionnaire for the Swallow trial is a list of 112 possible witnesses who might be called to testify either for Salt Lake County prosecutors or the defense team.

Defense attorneys had argued the questionnaire should remain private, in part to protect the names of some "high-profile" people who were concerned about public exposure and harassment.

So who's on the list?

For starters, some of Utah's top Republican officials, including Gov. Gary Herbert, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox., Sens. Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch, and House Speaker Greg Hughes. All had interactions with Swallow.

There is also a roster of better-known Salt Lake City defense attorneys: Brent Hatch, Mark James, Rebecca Hyde Skordas and Greg Skordas, all of whom at one time represented a key state witness, Marc Sessions Jenson, who was prosecuted by the attorney general's office. Brett Tolman, a former U.S. attorney for Utah is also on the list.

Other names of interest include Paul Murphy, a former spokesman for Mark Shurtleff, and Utah's Commerce Department chief Francine Giani, whose office had a long-running feud with the Utah attorney general's office.

In 2012, Swallow was recorded telling a telemarketer who had been slapped with a $400,000 consumer-protection fine that he planned to move the state division out of commerce and into the attorney general's office after he was elected. The conversation later became the subject of a Utah State Bar complaint filed against Swallow.
