Oh, what’s this?

Earlier today, David Safavian’s lawyer Barbara van Gelder said that she expected to wrap up her case today. But now it appears that Safavian will be taking the stand himself:

Safavian told the judge Friday morning that he plans to take the stand later today. The judge cautioned him that he was not required to testify.

‘For 10 months I’ve been catching grenades,’ Safavian said. ‘It’s time to explain my side.’

So it all comes down to this. Justin is heading down to the courthouse now to see how Safavian does.
