DETROIT (AP) — A judge holding a rare trial about Detroit's bankruptcy case could hear testimony from Police Chief James Craig before breaking for the weekend.

The trial is entering a third day Friday with the cross-examination of a key consultant from New York who was working onDetroit's finances even before an emergency manager was appointed in March.

Craig is expected to testify about the impact on public safety.
