Tempers Flared In Courtroom As Lt. Dan Choi Took The Stand | Lt. Dan Choi testified in his own defense yesterday for over three hours, arguing that his arrest for protesting Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell on the White House fence was a form of censorship. Today, his attorney Robert Feldman will question Randy Myers, assistant solicitor general at the Department of Interior, why he advised U.S. Park Police to pursue federal charges against Choi. The prosecution apparently made Choi an offer Friday to delay the trial four months and dismiss it if Choi avoids arrest in that time. Choi laughed and said no — at least not without an apology from Myers or a higher official.
