What would they expect his mother to say?
“What would they expect his mother to say?”
An old criminal defense attorney told me that he always called the defendants mother as a witness. It is unethical for an attorney to tell a witness to lie. The mothers would always testify “at the time of the robbery junior was home with me and asleep in his bed” without coaching by the attorney. Of course, the jurors don’t have to believe the mother.
