With the jury in City Councillor Chuck Turner's corruption trial adjourning for the weekend, here's some takeaways.

-- No wonder Ron Wilburn, the FBI's former cooperating witness, wasn't keen on testifying. He got hit hard by both sides today. Both Turner's lawyer Barry Wilson and prosecutor John McNeil were putting on a clinic in the courtroom. In a tense back and forth with McNeil, Wilburn accused the FBI of hanging him "out to dry" and revealing his name in the press. "You did it, you did it and I know it," he said, raising his voice. He added: "I did all the dirty work for you and you cut me off." He was easily identifiable in the 2008 criminal complaint filed against former Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, Wilburn said. McNeil responded that Wilburn's name had actually come up in an Adrian Walker column in July 2007, and Wilburn had initiated that without FBI approval. Meanwhile, in his cross-examination, which is expected to continue Monday, Wilson sought to point out numerous inconsistencies between what Wilburn was saying today, yesterday, in the grand jury and when he was being taped and recorded as a cooperating witness. Put it this way: If there was a drinking game on how many times Wilburn said, "I cannot recall," we would have a very, very drunk courtroom.

-- Wilburn has said repeatedly he gave money to Turner. He has also said repeatedly that he doesn't know it was $1,000; the FBI told him it was $1,000. And -- surely to the delight of Wilson -- apparently the FBI didn't follow protocol, showing and counting out the money on camera before sending Wilburn off to allegedly bribe Turner. But Wilburn said money did change hands, and it was never returned afterwards.

-- More details emerged about the "police corruption" investigation that Wilburn was supposedly involved in (and which we noted in our preview since Wilson hinted at it in court documents) before the Wilkerson case. It boils down to allegedly paying off police on top of detail work at the nightclub he was involved in. BPD tells the Herald it's an "open investigation." Yesterday, Wilburn acknowledged that he had made three recordings of a "law enforcement official" who was being investigated but hadn't been charged. The official was not named.

-- Who else is testifying? It's not yet clear. Here's the list of potential people.

-- Wilburn and Wilkerson were apparently mocking Turner behind his back, saying if you need a protest you go to Turner. That's according to Wilson. "Do you recall calling him Chairman Mao?" Wilson asked Wilburn. Possibly, Wilburn responded.

-- That could play into a potential defense for Turner: One attorney unaffiliated with the case mused that one strategy Turner's attorneys could be taking is arguing that Turner has little control and influence in City Hall, and is the go-to guy for protests, not liquor licenses. The real road to power, Turner's attorneys could argue, leads through the offices on the opposite side of City Hall's fifth floor.

-- In the courtroom, amid the law school students, reporters and Turner supporters, there were some familiar faces. One of Wilkerson's sons was in attendance in the morning (as he was yesterday). In the afternoon, Hassan Williams, a Roxbury attorney who earlier this year unsuccessfully ran against Sonia Chang-Diaz, Wilkerson's successor, took a seat in back. He admitted he was being nosy and couldn't resist poking his head in.

-- Juror #5 was apparently dismissed today, according to court documents. The court notes don't go into detail, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
