NORWICH, N.Y. (AP) — The murder trial of an upstate New York man has taken a last-minute twist with the defendant changing his mind and taking the stand.

Local media report that jurors expected to hear closing arguments Thursday in Ganesh Ramsaran’s trial in Chenango Count Court. Instead, they listened to the 39-year-old former IBM program manager testify that he didn’t kill Jennifer Renz Ramsaran.
