I have the same question.For those who’ve followed this case from the very beginning (including EC’s guilty plea), why was EC not called to testify? The jurors wonder, and so do I. Was it a legal reason or just judgment by prosecution and defense?
It seems odd that neither the prosecution nor the defense called him to testify. He could have given valuable insight about his mental health, how he felt, whether he appealed to his parents or a school counselor for help, etc.
But his claiming demons were in the house strikes me a kid making stuff up, which many kids do. Trying to get attention. Trying to be funny.
I would not have put that down to hallucinations. I don't think anyone--even the neighbors--were too concerned.
