Inouye on Stevens: He’d Never Tell a LieSen. Ted Stevens’ motion-to-dismiss prone attorneys kicked off their defense today calling Hawaiian Sen. Dan Inouye to the stand.
Inouye testified as a character witness, telling the jury that he’s “never heard of [Stevens] lying under oath.”
Inouye, a senator for 45 years, has been a longtime friend of Stevens. He is apparently known as “Uncle Dan” to Stevens’ children and called a “brother” by Stevens, the AP reports.
Whether or not Stevens will take the stand remains to be seen. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is expected to testify tomorrow.
