The decision to testify, under oath, is the defendant's decision and not the lawyer's decision. I ask again, has Patrick Thompson ever denied under oath that he did not do it?
No. Oaths matter. Lying under oath is a crime. The victim testified under oath it happened. So why didn't Thompson testify and deny it?
This is a very valid and important question. Looking at the law, there is direct evidence it happened, her testimony. There is evidence that Dickey didn't hear anything. But there is no evidence it didn't happen,and the best evidence would be a denial by the accused. So I ask again, why didn't Thompson testify, why didn't Thompson tell the jury that he didn't do it? |
