SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) _ Dave Chappelle should testify. That’s according to the lawyer for the man accused of throwing a banana peel at the black comedian. Attorney Rod Thompson, who is African American, says his client Christian Englander isn’t a racist. Englander, who is white, is charged with disturbing the peace and battery. The lawyer tells The Santa Fe New Mexican that Chappelle should have to testify in the case or the charges should be dropped. Englander says he meant the banana peel stunt as an act of social commentary during Chapelle’s performance in March. There was status hearing in the case yesterday.
