The Bermuda trial of Little Rock lawyer Gary Barket for attempting to clear airport security with guns in his checked luggage entered its second day today. We have a preliminary report on the jump. Both Barket and his wife Terry offered tearful testimony today. It will be included in a later report. Character witnesses were Mayor Mark Stodola, Democratic National Committee member Lottie Shackelford and Richard Mays, the Little Rock lawyer and former member of the Arkansas Supreme Court.

UPDATE: The Barkets’ testimony is now at the top of the jump. The case is expected to reach the jury tomorrow.
