She took the stand for the second time in what the prosecution hoped would provide the crucial link between Seabrook and the nonprofit groups he allegedly controlled in the Bronx.

Seabrook is accused of funneling city tax dollars to various groups only to put his friends and family in no-show jobs.

Those friends and family, including Jones-Grant, then allegedly kicked back cash to Seabrook.

But on the stand, Jones-Grant often contradicted herself. When asked by prosecutors whether she sent cash to the councilman, Jones-Grant at one point said "I might have."

Jones-Grant said the payments were to pay back an $18,000 loan from Seabrook, which the councilman never disclosed on city conflicts of interest forms.

When questioned by Seabrook's attorneys, Jones-Grant said she was recently prescribed medication for dementia.

"We thought it was important for the jury to know what the witness's capabilities were and were not," said Edward Wilford, Seabrook’s attorney.

As part of their case, prosecutors showed checks made out in cash and cash withdrawals from Jones-Grant's bank account, then deposits by Seabrook into his own account days after.

Jones-Grant was offered immunity to testify. She also told the jury she still talks to the councilman, at one point saying they speak two or three times a week.

The councilman is also accused of getting kickbacks from a Bronx-based boilermaker who he helped get a contract for the new Yankee Stadium.

In sum, Wilford said, "What's at stake here is Councilman Seabrook's political career, and we intend to do everything we can to get a verdict that's appropriate."

Despite the allegations, the councilman has not lost all of his support in the community. A bus drove about two dozen elderly supporters to and from the courtroom on Tuesday.

The trial, which is in its third week, is expected to wrap up this week.
