The lawyer for Dustin Paxton has made a rare move, taking the stand himself as part of his client’s trial.
Jim Lutz testified that two different spectators reporting seeing a senior police officer coaching a witness from the stands.
Final arguments have already been heard in the case but the judge is now considering Lutz’s application for a stay of proceedings, which would mean the entire case would be thrown out.
Paxton, 31, has been charged with the assault and sexual assault of his former roommate and business partner.
