Closing arguments set for Thursday; jury could begin deliberations in a week
The defense on Tuesday rested its case in the high-profile “Fat Leonard” trial, closing months of testimony and evidence presented in the case of five former U.S. Navy officers charged with bribery.
Defense attorneys have worked to raise enough reasonable doubt about the narrative put forth by the prosecution about the five men on trial. The men are accused of accepting everything from expensive dinners to parties with prostitutes to posh hotel rooms in ports around Southeast Asia.Francis, who has already pleaded guilty, admitted to overcharging the Navy at least $35 million for the services his business, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, offered to visiting Navy ships in ports he controlled, from trash removal to security to water taxis.
Much of the testimony seemed to be an effort to normalize some of the officers’ alleged behavior, making it look less nefarious than the prosecution has made it out to be.
