Ted DiBiase Jr is facing multiple years in prison, but despite this, he decided against taking the stand in his own trial. In an update revealed by PWInsider, the star’s defense has now rested their case in the ongoing criminal trial and they did this despite the star not taking the stand. By keeping him off the stand, they helped him avoid having to answer the prosecution’s questions while also losing out on his testimony.

The former WWE star has been involved in the criminal trial proceedings since back in April 2023, when he was arrested for one count of conspiracy to commit wire frauid and to also commit theft in programs receiving funds from the federal goverment, as well as four counts fo money laudering.

The charges come as part of the largest ever welfare fraud scandal in Mississippi, with there being more than $77 Million in federal funds involved. He faces potentially 20 years per wire fraud count, as well as 10 years for theft, and five years for conspiracy.

If he is found guilty, the star may be going away for a long time.
