Earlier, when someone was saying that favorable statements to police could come in one's favor and you disagreed,

That was me. I said that. The troll who got zotted disagreed with me.

I was wondering whether you agree with my opinion that the prosecutor's calling of all the witnesses to present GZ's version of events was greatly detrimental to its case.

If the prosecution brings in the statements of the defendant as part of their case, then the defendant can use those same statements to prove his innocence. In essence the defendant gets to testify without taking the stand.

Do you agree with my statement that the prosecutor's behavior in that regard made things much easier for GZ than they would have been if he'd faced a prosecutor who was trying to be effective and knew how to do it?
