Default Defense unsure if evangelist Alamo will testify (AP)

AP - As lawyers begin to defend evangelist Tony Alamo against sex-crime charges, their biggest liability might be their client.

Prosecutors allege that a domineering Alamo took five underage girls across state lines for sex between 1994 and 2005. Defense lawyers say the government targeted Alamo for prosecution because it is anti-Christian. Alamo, who has pleaded not guilty, has also said the Vatican is behind his troubles.

Alamo told the girl, who is not among those he is accused of abusing, to "shut up" when she began to question him, according to the recordings made in Texarkana, Texas, after a raid on his southern Arkansas headquarters.
