Scrushy – Although a defense witness was called to testify, according to an AP report here (al.com), it sounded more like evidence the prosecution would present.  There were a few comments favorable to the defense.  Strategy-wise this may prove more helpful to the defense than described in the press.  A witness who tells it with both the good and bad for the side they are called by, may often offer the more credible evidence to a jury.  But AP, also says the witness winked at Scrushy – HUM!

AP also reports here that a juror has been dismissed in the trial.
