Question

In your opinion, explain the advantages, and disadvantages, of a Defendant NOT choosing to testify at their trial.

Full sentences please

Answer 1

if a defendent choses to stay out of try it both ruins the chances of me being able to find a crack in their charges, but it does take away the ability for them to unveil new evidence. But this can also cause people to use unchecked claims, and blame for things that are untrue, but hopefully the court of law can figure that out without a defendant

Step-by-step explanation:

SORRY I SPOKE IN A WEIRD WAY!!

Answer 2

Hey! Your answer is down below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a defendant chooses not to testify, this fact cannot be held against him or her in court. The court must instruct the jury that the defendant has a constitutional right not to testify, that the choice not to testify cannot be held against the defendant, and that the defendant is presumed innocent regardless of whether he or she testifies.

Hope this helps!
