Update: Alamo Says He’s Already Won
Controversial evangelist Tony Alamo arrived in federal court in Texarkana at 6:45 a.m. and was asked why his lawyers did not want him to testify. Alamo said, “I’m going to testify, they’ve already lost the battle.”
When asked what battle Alamo replied, “They accused me of child pornography, they accused me of transporting girls across state line they can’t do it. They’ve lost and are now coming up with new charges.”
When asked if he believed he was above the trial Alamo replied, “I’ve already won.”
Prosecutors will wrap up their case this morning and Alamo’s defense attorneys will begin calling witnesses this afternoon.
