Tampa Trial: Testimony Ends, Jury Gets Case Wednesday

Radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge Clem's attorneys rested their case late Tuesday morning.

Clem is fighting a defamation lawsuit brought by Clem's former radio rival, Todd "MJ" Schnitt, who is asserting Clem has made "false, highly offensive and defamatory statements" about him and his wife.

Tampabay.com is reporting Circuit Judge James Arnold denied the defense's motion Tuesday afternoon that the judge throw out the remaining defamation charges. Arnold also denied the plaintiff's motion for a directed verdict.

Court adjourned at about 2:30 p.m., and the decision will likely be in the jury's hands Wednesday, after closing statements.
