Teising’s attorney: Not sure trustee will testify, as felony trial heads into final day

Day 2 of Wabash Township Trustee Jennifer Teising’s felony theft trial was another round of trying to track where she was … and whether that meant she no longer lived here

One final witness remains, prosecutors said Tuesday, in a felony theft case that could cost embattled Wabash Township Trustee Jennifer Teising her job, as soon as Wednesday.

The trial is scheduled to wrap up and go to Tippecanoe Superior 5 Judge Kristen McVey sometime Wednesday. Whether it will include direct testimony from Teising wasn’t clear, with her attorney, Karen Celestino-Horseman, still mulling her options at the end of a second day of the trial.

“We’ll see,” Celestino-Horseman said.
