Wrong. Defendants have the constitutional right to refuse to testify. It normally used where there is a flaw in the police case - i.e. the chain of custody is broken in a drug deals case.
If you don't take the stand in a credibility case, it means one of two things:
1. You're a moron because the jury will assume that your story will fall apart under questioning and think the worst of you.
2. Your story will fall apart under questioning and you're desperate and this is the best, sad plan you can scramble together.
Explain exactly what you mean.
Many, many, many, many times! But just for a hh or hour at a time!
Corrected your post.
You back a felon who is paying $85 million for slandering one of his rape victims, was impeached twice and found guilty of fraud multiple times.
You are as honourable as he is.
You really have no right to criticize anyone about anything with that record.
Like I said, you desperately edit people's posts as a sign that you've lost the argument.
Cowardly tactic but no one here is surprised by that. You're just here to entertain us anyway. No one actually takes you seriously. You know that right?
Well Netanyahu is the one that received the arrest warrant by the ICC. But it is The Republican controlled House that voted to sanction the ICC. No doubt it will eventually be thrown out by the Democratically controlled Senate.
U.S. House votes to sanction international court over warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials
Though President Joe Biden criticized the International Criminal Court's finding as "outrageous," his administration opposes the bill, making it unlikely to become law.
But the USA is not the only nation that has sent arms to Israel. Canada and other NATO as well as EU Nations have also done so. Does not mean that they are all complicit in the genocide, as Israel has been considered to be a key ally in that region. The Israelis themselves are pissed off with Netanyahu's handling of this whole war in Gaza, as he is pandering to the very extremist elements within his coalition that want to eradicate not just Hamas, but The Palestinians as well.
It would have been impossible for Trump to testify in his own defence, because of MerCon's Sandoval hearing decision made before the trial started!! Also, Judge MerCon, wouldn't have let Trump get in a word edgewise, because of Mercon's dumb "gag" order against Trump!!

MerCON's Sandoval hearing decision, would have let all of Trump's previous bad acts, be allowed into evidence, if Trump's lawyers had decided to put Trump on the stand!! That's the main reason why Trump chose not to testify in the MerCON case!!

Prison panic: Trump pulls unhinged stunt amid guilty verdict
With former President Donald Trump found guilty on all 34 counts in his latest criminal prosecution, the now-convicted felon is deploying one last tactic to try and save himself. While Trump has called in his troops to come out and protest, his threats seem to be largely empty. Since his...
Apparently 11 people were sent to the hospital after waiting in the heat for this.
Get a word in edgewise? Do you realize it is a courtroom? And there is protocol? And it is not a discussion, coffee klatch, shouting match, tv show, nor a debate? Once again your news sources are actively misleading you.
Judge MerCON has no protocol. That's the problem!! MerCON ruled for the prosecution all the time, and never once for Trump's defence team!!
He shut down Michael Cohen commenting on Trump and asked stormy to tone it down.amongst others
I would tend to agree with you.Well Netanyahu is the one that received the arrest warrant by the ICC. But it is The Republican controlled House that voted to sanction the ICC. No doubt it will eventually be thrown out by the Democratically controlled Senate.

Democrats are divided as to whether they set a precedent to go against their allies (which one day could result in a similar action being taken against the US); or side with Republicans and proceed with sanctions.
Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth on this and has lost the confidence of Democrats as a result.
