I don't think they proved it to the jury but there is enough to hang them up. If he had testified and was innocent, he would already be walking free.

I testified for myself once. The attorney was ruthless. The DA who was "on my side" was useless.
They are very good at making a innocent man appear guilty in the eyes of the jury.

Hi AppyPappy..It's a little late in the game to ask for answers, when we've probably give the same answer over 100 times to any question you might have, if you took the time to read these threads.

But there are two schools of thought to a witness testifying. They should and they shouldn't. The popular professional opinion has been for the Defendant NOT to take the stand.

I personally, think at the end of the day, that he should have. He could have explained the "we" in the tape being used against him. I think he used "we" went this way or that way, because he was USED to having someone with him and he was frazzled in the interview. He had only just broken up with his Girlfriend.

Stay tuned..Pappy.

But all the defense lawyers do not want their client to testify and advise against it.

But I agree, he should have testified.
