TAMPA — On the fifth day of his federal trial on charges that he had illegal weapons and classified materials at his Tampa home, retired U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sgt. Jeremy Brown took the witness stand and tried to explain himself.

Yes, two illegal guns federal agents found belonged to him. Yes, he was the author of a report that was marked as “secret” and found in his girlfriend’s recreational vehicle. But no, he didn’t believe the information it contained was classified.

No, the hand grenades agents said they found were not his. Nor was the CD that held four other classified documents, also marked “secret”; he’d never seen it before.

For several hours Friday, Brown talked and talked, having told a judge that it would be his “honor, duty, and pleasure” to testify in his own defense.

But he seemed to falter under cross-examination.
