VIDEO - Just two days before taking the stand once more and undergoing what is sure to be a grueling cross examination, American businessman Morris Talanksy, who is considered the key witness in the corruption investigation against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, promised his follow-up testimony will prove uneventful.

 

Talansky, well aware of the media pandemonium surrounding both the investigation and his testimony, tried to play down his part in the case, saying that the story may not be as dramatic as the media has portrayed it, and predicating an anticlimactic end to the whole affair.

"Some people want to cut me to pieces, but don’t worry, they won't," he told reporters Tuesday.

 

"I just want to tell you that (my cross examination) will allow me to tell everything I know, but don't expect any big drama. I'll tell the story, it won't be dramatic and every one will pick up the papers and wonder 'why did we waste our time with this guy Talansky."

 

Olmert's legal team has said in the past that once they cross examine him, the entire alleged case against the PM will crumble to pieces.
