Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl unexpectedly took the stand at his sentencing hearing to apologize to service members who got wounded searching for him. Bergdahl was the first witness that the defense presented as they began putting on their evidence in the sentencing hearing. They hadn't previously made it known that Bergdahl would address the court. It was his most extensive remarks in court yet. He started with a statement apologizing to those who searched for him, choking up at times. He said: "My words can't take away what the people have been through."
