If he truly is innocent, he'd better. I would have risked it at trial myself.

I guess you can gather from my comments hereto that my firm belief is that he won't testify.

You mention your belief that if he had child pornography once, he would have to have had it before. Due to the internet, there has been in this country an *explosion* of adult consumption of child pornography. That means, perforce, new customers coming in via the internet. You mention "boxes" of stuff being taken out. That's typical but that's not the only way. You have to reason that the reason there are members-only child porno cites that people frequent is so that they can view it on the internet and take less criminal risk by downloading (which, I believe, is a new and separate crime, the downloading).

But there's no such thing as the perfect criminal who does the typical thing. Whoever did this crime, and Danielle is dead and someone did, was an erratic monster to begin with. Criminal behavior occurs in chaotic pattern in dynamic circumstances. So the fact that a particular criminal isn't typical doesn't instill doubt in my heart. Satan has some curious ways, and we are all fallen.

If he doesn't, then I'll be over on the GUILTY! side of the room. My husband thinks the reason he didn't testify at the trial was that all he could testify to would be a drunken blackout. Again, I would have risked it myself, just to be able to shout my innocence to the world. God would know & I would know, & if the world didn't know, it wouldn't be because I hadn't told them - it would be because they didn't believe me.

If he doesn't scream his innocence at the top of his lungs at the penalty phase, then he's not. The trial is OVER, & so is his life, either by needle or by fellow prisoner. There's nothing left to lose.

If he truly is innocent, he'd better. I would have risked it at trial myself.

Every prosecutor hopes and prays that the accused will testify at their trial because it is just so much easier to convict them. LMAO
