iced, there are many cases of defendants taking the stand in which it was their own testimony that convinced the jury of their guilt. I sat on such a jury once.
I know nothing about this case other than what I read here. It seems to me that unless you’re privy to all the testimony that the jury hears, you’re in no position to judge. Reading about it in the paper is not the same as being in the courtroom. I totally agree with nishtdayngesheft about the accuracy of the media.
