KJZZ’s Friday NewsCap revisits some of the biggest stories of the week from Arizona and beyond.

This week, top Republican lawmakers denounced a legislative hearing that let one woman testify, without evidence, that a host of elected officials and judges took bribes from the Sinaloa drug cartel. And after being embroiled in election controversy last year, Cochise County voted to give election responsibility to its Republican recorder.

To discuss those stories and more, The Show spoke with Jaime Molera of Molera Alvarez and Democratic strategist Tony Cani.
