Ex-U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie who is now Gov-elect of New Jersey, is off the hook.

Turns out he won’t have to testify as a defense witness in the trial of a white supremacist shock jock Hal Turner, who is accused of threatening the lives of three Illinois federal judges.

The defense had subpeonaed Christie in the trial, which is being held in Brooklyn. The Associated Press reported that the defense decided not to call any witnesses.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday. The case had been moved from Chicago to Brooklyn after a request was made for a change of venue. During trial, evidence showed that Turner worked as an FBI informant.
