Kott's attorney asked him:
You've come all this way, your air force career, all the positive things you done as a legislator, how do you feel these video tapes of you acting badly will affect your legacy, how do you want to be remembered?
PK: Unfortunately the legislation will be just that. They'll forget the good things, and remember the bad things. Tough to forego being a legislator all the friendships. This has been extremely embarrassing. I knew that coming into this.
To the jury, I apologize for the vulgarity presented to you in this trial, but I believe I had to go through this. The charges are incorrect. I'm not guilty. This trial will probably cost me a lot, but my legacy is more important.
That's not quite verbatim, but gets the gist. He almost sounded like he could produce some tears.
And then it was time for lunch. The defense has a few more topics and then the prosecutors will have a chance to ask questions.
I was told by someone the governor was in attendance, but I didn't see her.
