State Sen. Tom Libous has decided not to testify in his trial, which is underway in federal court in White Plains. The prosecution rested its case yesterday afternoon. After a short recess, the defense announced it would only call one witness: District Court Judge Thomas McAvoy. Closing arguments are scheduled to begin at 10:30 this morning. Sen. Libous is accused of lying to the FBI about his son Matthew’s employment at a Westchester law firm in 2010. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
