In one of the recently quoted post from the judge, he made the commit about the boys not defending their position. I know it is up to the state to prove their case of guilt, not the defendant to prove that they are not guilty, I get it. But if you are innocent what does it hurt to try to clear your name, when in this case you are 100% certain you are innocent? It always appears to me that by not defending your self you give the appearance hiding something,
Asking some of our legal minds is it a good or bad idea to take the stand, giving the circumstances?
What about this case looking from the outside?
I'm not a lawyer but due to past experience I will never answer any questions other than name, DOB, and address without an attorney. That includes speeding tickets. That is nothing against LEOs because they weren't involved when I made this personal policy. When you can be arrested, go to jail, go to court, and he found innocent WITHOUT EVER BEING ASKED WHAT HAPPENED. Not tell us your side. NOTHING!! ZILCH!! EVER!!
