Maddie,

I avoid legal issues like the plague, but I believe that not allowing defendants to testify on their own behalf was also designed to protect them, if innocent, from cunning prosecutors who could turn their words against them.

I think John Wilkes Booth in a modern court room would have a field day - can we bring Johnny Cochran back to life to be his defense attorney?
