But the defense flips the script, claiming Baker was defending himself against an aggressive Martin who allegedly pulled a gun and attacked him first. Martin herself took the stand, saying she never used the weapon — a claim the defense disputes.

The defense’s rebuttal is now underway. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
