It would follow that Ike negated his own testimony?

In summary: Ike became the defense’s best witness?

Or are you still of the opinion that Ike: “Ike did well through most of his testimony”

If a football team plays well for most of the game, but ends up losing the game because of turnovers…

Does it really matter how well they played for “most of” the game.

Engaging in self defeating behavior negates whatever positive was accomplished.
