The defense has rested, and the fate of former Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris rests in the hands of a jury. Harris was the last witness to take the stand in his defense. He is quoted in a Johnson City Press article as saying that he never took the money in question. Harris was indicted by a grand jury on a total of 11 counts of official misconduct, theft and attempted aggravated assault. It's expected that the jury will return a verdict today. (jb)
