Defendant In Las Vegas Strip Trial To Decide If He'll Testify

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It's decision time for a self-described pimp standing trial in the deaths of three people in a shooting and fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip.

Ammar Harris either testifies on Thursday, or he doesn't.

Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday after a week of testimony blaming Harris for a vehicle-to-vehicle shooting, a high-speed crash and a fireball that left three people dead.

Harris has pleaded not guilty to charges that could get him the death penalty in the February 2013 incident.

He's accused of mortally wounding the driver of a Maserati that slammed into a taxi that burst into flames, killing two other people.

Harris has claimed self-defense. He has said someone in the Maserati shot at him.

But police didn't find a weapon in the wrecked sports car.
