Should the Defendant Testify?
Environmental Crimes Lawyer Walter James answers this age-old defense question in his latest post. He ends by commenting that this is for one particular case, and that the decision must be made on a case by case basis. Facts which made this particular decision easier:
The three remaining individual defendants all possessed college degrees or the equivalent of a college degree, all were very articulate, none had any prior convictions and all had impeccable character. In that respect, the only true decision left was to determine the order in which they would testify.
