I remember wincing when I first read the transcript. Weev was his own worst enemy at that point, and as he proceeded to fall apart on the stand, his testimony become more and more damaging: at best, he came off as evasive, sarcastic, and arrogant. From there, it was as easy as pie for the prosecutor to paint him as having something to hide. An impression which, unfortunately, weev actively contributed to. It's not fair, but there's a reason why most defendants don't testify on their own behalf: they are, almost always, seated too close to the matter and unable to come across as objective.
