The jury will see his unwillingness to testify on his own behalf as an admission of guilt. He has to testify to save his neck. If he does testify, I'll bet the farm he gets off.

A defendant chosing to testify or chosing not to testify on his or her own behalf should never in any way be construed as an admission or denial of guilt. The defendant in ALL cases MUST be presumed INNOCENT.

The defendant in ALL cases MUST be presumed INNOCENT.

Only by the jury ... The general public is not held to the same standard.
