Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update: Kurt Westergaard Testifies

Danish Cartoons Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard testfied today against the 29-year-old Somali man that entered his house using an axe on January 1, 2010. The entry caused the grandfather to hit a panic room and phone police, who arrived within minute and eventually shot and arrested the defendant, accusing him of a variety of charges that could lead to lifetime imprisonment. Westergaard told the court the defendant was lying by way of his stance that he was forcing himself into Westergaard's home while all weaponed up in order merely to scare him. A verdict is expected in early February, several sources suggesting that a guilty verdict in such cases usually reduces the lifetime term to 16 years.
