Will Casey take the stand? Sure, if it's not nailed down.
That was a really good one!

As a last ditch effort, I think JB might put her on the stand. Who knows what a jury will do. Look at the Mary (I can't remember her last name) case. Her attorney stuck her up there with a pair of hooker shoes and look what happened.
I read his resume. He has appeared in at least four defense cases I read about and has authored and co-authored several books. He has also appeared as a prosecution witness. He does come off as a geeky doorknob but with his credentials, I am not happy about him being part of the defense, that's for sure!

I think that depends on the client, Private Eye. I have seen innocent defendants put on the stand. If I was a defense attorney and my client was not only innocent, but also conducted him or herself well on the stand, I'd put him or her on. I do tend to believe that guilty people rarely get put on the stand by comptetent counsel. But, some clients who may be innocent but not too bright, or not well-spoken, are kept off the stand. In my practice, I have family law clients that tell me amazing, compelling stories with passion and emphasis, etc, and then I put them on the stand and they turn into morons. It happens so often it drives me crazy. People get nervous, which I understand, and then they fall apart. As far as casey goes, no way will she take the stand. Oh, I think she would speak well enough, I just think she is guilty as hell and Baez knows it! He'd never do it.No decent lawyer would let his client take the stand even if they wanted to.
Surely?
