I'm just glad I'm not the dumbass saying he would testify. Trump is that dumbass saying (lying) that he would testify of course.
Trump is simply too dumb to realize that it's not his job to provide guilt. Which he would certainly do of course. Because he is so dumb

Lol there's a difference between being willing to testify and putting yourself on the stand for absolutely no reason. You literally give the prosecutors a chance to paint you in a bad light and corner you... Guilty or not... Why doesn't Biden just go testify about his confidential records to set the record straight? Where even his own DoJ says he's too stupid to stand trial but you love him. The biggest hypocrite I have ever talked to. What about Hunter? Fani Willis is refusing to testify against herself. Because it's common sense.


How you do not understand this is mind boggling. This is typical law. Trump really has done a number on you guys and your ability to critical think. At least Trump is competent enough to stand trial, your president according to the own DoJ is not capable. Lol dude thinks his Uncle was eaten by cannibals. I notice you, Red, and Thriller all stay silent about Trumps judge being a Biden voter and donor. I notice you stay silent about his daughter literally working for Joe Biden. But hey the Florida judge is compromised. There's not a single issue i've hear from you that you are not a blatant hypocrite about. Cannon isn't a Trump donor... Cannon doesn't have a child that works for Trump. Tell me more about 2-tiered justice system. Especially when Jack Smith literally admits they tampered with evidence and who do you blame? The judge... Not the FBI admitting it doctored the main photo we see and tampered with evidence.

There's a difference between being willing to and putting yourself out there. Do you honestly not understand the difference? Why would a defendant ever put themself willingly on the stand? That is a prosecutor's dream. It's not Trumps job to prove his innocence, it's the prosecutor's job to prove guilt. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. You are playing stupid, and you damn well know it.. The 5th amendment is there for this very reason you dope. This is high school knowledge. Again, I understand fish... He thinks the economy is ran by some guy in England or something. BTW, you never responded after I destroyed your NDA argument. She denied it for 10 years before the NDA. You ran away again like you ALWAYS do. Every time.

Why would a defendant say he would testify?

I guess with the trump the answer is simple. He knows his dumbass followers believe him and then he can tell them that the judge wouldn't let him testify and they would believe that or he could tell them that he did testify and it was the best testifying anyone has ever done and they would believe that.

Or just because he can't talk without lying.

It's trump. He is a dumbass liar

To the insanely uneducated here. The true cult. I am baffled I have to explain this to you guys but you also thought Corona came from a pangolin 700 feet from the Wuhan lab that studied Coronavirus. My goodness the lack of basic common sense.

1. The Burden of Proof Rests With Prosecutors.​

The prosecution has to prove that any defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If they fail to do this, a defendant doesn't need to prove anything.

Even in cases of alleged self-defense, like the Zimmerman case, a defendant may not present any evidence of self-defense. Yet the jury may rightly infer self-defense from evidence presented by the prosecution.

2. Right Against Self-Incrimination.​

Aside from the burden of evidence, defendants are entitled not to testify in their own defense to preserve their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

But when a defendant voluntarily takes the stand, he waives the right to "plead the Fifth," and he will be compelled to answer the prosecution's questions as well as his own attorney's.

3. Cross-Examination Is Brutal.​

Once the defendant takes the stand, his defense attorney will ask questions that allow him to explain his story in a way that is most favorable to his case.

However, when the prosecution gets a crack at the defendant during cross-examination, even the most sympathetic and credible defendant can become a seething cauldron of rage or an unbelievable mess.

4. Other Witnesses Can Testify.​

Because of the risk of a defendant being discredited or vilified on the stand, it is often much more prudent to let other witnesses do the heavy lifting in a defendant's case.

Defense witnesses can also testify about a defendant's actions and even their perception of his state of mind without violating the rule against hearsay evidence.

5. Defendant Doesn't Want To.​

This may not necessarily have to do with legal strategy or credibility; a defendant may simply be emotionally uncomfortable with testifying.

Attorneys may attempt to convince their clients to testify, but lawyers are ethically bound to respect their clients' wishes with respect to their defense. Ultimately, defendants who choose not to take the stand base their decisions on mix of emotional, legal, and strategic considerations.

More on that subject for the extremely uneducated. This is embarrassing but unlike some I can prove my points and communicate. I don't run away and call people trolls because unlike the Cult, I can debate. I run from nothing like fish does. This is so common sense that I feel like fish is a blatant troll. His name is fish btw..... maybe I've been played this entire time... Because this is basic knowledge and the fact that I have to explain this to adults, especially those with a long rap sheet is nuts.

Why Defendants Rarely Testify​


Conventional wisdom has it that when a person is blamed for something he didn’t do, he should protest loudly and often, “I didn’t do it!”

However, it’s rare for a person accused of a crime to testify at his own trial. First, he doesn’t have to. If all he’s going to say is, it wasn’t me, the presumption of innocence says that already and carries none of the risks of testifying.

If there’s more to add, like self-defense, mistake, alibi or, I did it, but please give me a break, that’s a different story. He’ll have no choice but to take the stand. However, there are so many risks to testifying that every attorney worth his salt thinks long and hard about recommending it. No matter what the prosecutor’s evidence, if a defendant testifies, that is what will determine the verdict.

It shifts the burden of proof. The burden is always only on the prosecutor, but when there’s two versions of the same event, jurors compare the prosecutor’s story with the defendant’s. Whether the prosecution made its case or not, if they don’t like how the defendant came off, either because they don’t believe him or just don’t like him, they’ll generally convict.

Without the defendant testifying, a good defense attorney can always find some weakness in the prosecutor’s case to point out, particularly when it comes to cops — for example what could have been done but wasn’t, or what was done wrong

Why Don’t Most Defendants Testify At Their Own Trials?

If you ever been a part of a criminal trial — as a defendant, as a prosecutor, as a witness, as a judge or as someone else who just happened to be in the courtroom — you know that, at least sometimes, defendants don’t testify at their own trial. In fact, this happens more than sometimes. It happens a lot.

According to an Associated Press article published in U.S. News in 2021, there isn’t a lot of recent data on the percentages of defendants who choose to testify or choose not to testify at trial. “That’ll take years to compile,” the article states. “And studies on defendant testimony are few and far between.”

But, according to the piece, “[o]ne study of over 300 criminal trials published in the Cornell Law Review in 2009 found that some 77% of defendants who testified were found guilty.” “Among the defendants who chose not to testify,” the piece continues, “around 72% were convicted.”

There are a lot of reasons why a defendant might choose not to testify at their own trial…

  • Burden of Proof. The prosecutor has the burden of proof in a criminal trial. A prosecutor has to prove a defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant, on the other hand, doesn’t have to prove anything at all. If the prosecutor can’t meet his or her burden, it doesn’t matter what the defendant does.
  • Right Against Self-Incrimination. Defendants in a criminal trial also have a constitutional right against self-incrimination. This means that the government cannot force someone charged with a crime to say something that may incriminate themselves. To take advantage of this right, however, defendants must choose not to testify.
  • Cross-Examination. If a defendant chooses to testify, he or she also opens themselves up to cross-examination by the prosecutor. You might be inclined to think, “So what?” This is especially true if you believe that you have “nothing to hide.” But prosecutors are talented and can trip you up easily and, in some cases, make you look bad.
These aren’t the only reasons a defendant might choose not to testify. But they are some of the most common.

Lol at posting a bunch of crap everyone already knows. None of us are saying trump should testify to help himself. Some of us would love him to because we know it would make things worse for him. Any idiot would know that. Only an idiot would think anyone has been saying that trump should testify to help himself.

But why do defendants (tump anyways) SAY that they are going to testify? Why does trump say he is going to/wants to? Oh ya, he is a dumbass liar.



Oh geez. Why am I feeding the troll. Always a bad idea. Back to ignoring.

Lol no you didn't. Whine about lying while literally lying lol. That's my fish...

If only you cared about the actual president lying. Wouldn't that be something. Just Trump though. Imagine how much you would lose your mind if Trump said his uncle was eaten by cannibals. Or that inflation was 9% when he took office when it was under 2%. Imagine you caring about real life instead of having some weird weird obsession with a guy that has no bearing on anything right now. It's something else. You claim to be right leaning but only talk about Trump. You're the most alt-left Republican that never talks about Republican issues I've honestly ever met. I could sure use your help on some Republican issues outside of Trump sometimes, but you know your friends would turn on you and literally hate you. Call you a cultist. Huh fish? That's why you don't say anything outside of Trump...
 
Poor Fish getting eaten alive by the troll. This is why you don't feed the trolls.

The irony. I am talking politics. You are literally trolling lol.

Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to ‘bait’ people, which means deliberately provoking an argument or emotional reaction. In some cases they say things they don’t even believe, just to cause drama. In other cases, they may not agree with the views of another person or group online, so they try to discredit, humiliate or punish them.

Ya my mistake. I had gotten really good at not clicking the button in the app to view the ignored post. Then for some reason today I clicked the button. Always a bad idea.
I wish the app worked like the web browser. When I'm on jazzfanz.com I can't even see that the troll posted. In the app I see every time that it posts but I have to click something to reveal the post.

Just have to keep practicing not clicking that button. I was doing so well too. Oh well, back to the drawing board
