For anyone fearing this guy could end up with a hung jury. I personally don't think that will happen but I've been wrong before too.
So, let's look at the facts here. CW has totally painted himself into the corner here by not only confessing but worse, ACCUSING his wife of killing the children. I don't know many people after learning this would be OK with him not testifying to eloborate on this. Seriously, his claim is SOOO outrageous that most people would not simply take his word for it and be OK with him not testifying. Most attorney's would advise their clients not to but this is just that one in a million case where he really doesn't have a choice BUT to if he wishes to convinve a jury that his confession is true. No doubt the prosecution has numerous people available to them to testify about her good character and how wonderful she was with her children.
I understand a jury is expected to give the benefit of the doubt TO a defendent if two scenarios are possible. Still, in this case that simply won't fly. Jurors WANTING to give him the benefit of the doubt are going to want answers to some very obvious questions. If he did in fact see what she was doing on the baby cam why didn't he scream up at her and hope to interrupt her from what she was doing. Why didn't he run up to stop her from strangling the 2cnd child, surely he could overpower her. Why didn't he call 911 and forceably restrain her until they arrived. Why would his first reaction be to strangle and kill her and not attempt to revive a child or call 911 in hopes at least one of the girls could be saved. Why did he not call 911 after he killed her? Why move the bodies and especially why would he dump the children he loved so much in an oil tank to rot. There are many more answers a jury would want I am just picking these off the top of my head.
Nope, he has to testify and hope he is a good enough actor to pull it off. We already saw he is not through his own interviews after the fact. Even more damning to him is that he flat out lied during them therefore who would honestly believe a word the guy said.
Again he surely painted himself into the corner here BY accusing her. He can't even attempt to pawn this one off on his girlfriend now because yet another change in story at this point will convict him. He's going down. Absolutely sure of it. His best chance is a plea deal and spare everyone the angst of a trial.
