Former Speaker of the House Bill DeWeese Tuesday avoided testifying in the corruption trial of his onetime right-hand man, former state Rep. Mike Veon, while defense attorneys tried to chip away at investigators’ tactics in the case.
Mr. DeWeese, a Democratic state representative from Waynesburg, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a meeting in the chambers of Dauphin County Common Pleas Judge Richard A. Lewis. He left the courthouse Tuesday morning without comment.
