Nathan Hardwick IV’s ex-law partner, Mark Wittstadt, returned to the stand on Wednesday to tell the jury there was no legitimate way Hardwick could have taken $26 million out of their now-defunct residential real estate closing firm over three-and-a-half years without it going bankrupt.

Hardwick had unexpectedly taken the stand himself on Tuesday as the defense’s final witness, for a full day of direct testimony conducted by his attorney, Ed Garland. Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday morning after 12 days of testimony.
