[QUOTE="DDD, post: 439537, member: 35"] Watching the television coverage everyone is saying that the Defense "has" to put Casey on the stand to give proof of the opening statements. Obviously, [B]very[/B] obviously, I am not an attorney but I don't believe that any defense attorney would make up a story like that. So I'm assuming that Casey told Baez that is what happened and he decided to run with it accepting it as truth. Even [B]if[/B] it were the truth which I don't believe it to be, there's no way to prove it. To me having Casey testify would be the nails in her coffin because of all the previous testimony that shows her habitual lying etc. etc. So I'm thinking if he has enough for reasonable doubt why wouldn't he say "due to x, y, z, a, b, c evidence it is apparent that Casey Anthony did not have cause to kill her little girl, evidence indicates that she has never shown any form of abuse etc. etc. and therefore she has chosen not to take the stand which is her legal right". The Jury is not allowed to hold it against a Defendant if they do not take the stand. They will be wondering, as we all wonder, what really did happen but they are charged with deciding that she committed premeditated murder and that may not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
