That Westerfield should have testified, otherwise he is guilty.

I don't watch CourtTV but thanks for sharing. If I was innocent, I would run to the stand, especially in the light of circumstantial evidence. Having served on a 1st degree murder jury, I can tell you that nothing works better than a defendent taking the stand and saying "I didn't do it".

I was amazed that OJ swore his innocence in public but would not swear it in court.

Have you ever had to take the stand in a criminal trial against yourself?

OJ was given the opportunity to proclaim his innocense to the
court, however the prosecution was not allowed to cross examine him.

I imagine Westerfield would have loved that offer.
