Christian Dawkins took the stand in his own defense Thursday and, according to CBS.com’s Matt Norlander, held his own and managed to be fairly entertaining as well:
“By the end of Dawkins’ testimony, it was clear that testifying in his defense was the necessary move for him. Who knows if it will work, but putting a face, a voice, a compelling counterargument with realistic reasons for a lot of the things alleged against him in this case? It almost certainly will spur some interesting discussion among the 12 jury members when they begin deliberations next week.
