Well he originally had 2 attorneys that they got rid of, and then hired this attorney based off of a recommendation from Dominique Alexander. His parents gained almost a million dollars, they should have been able to hire several of the best attorneys in Texas to try and make up a defense in a case that didn’t have one. But they went the cheaper route.

TikTok lawyers are very sharp until it’s time to argue a case in the actual court

Maybe his attorney wanted him to and he refused? Why are we automatically blaming the lawyer?

My sista as a fellow litigator, I agree with you that I would have put him on the stand. But the justice was not blind in this case nor in others. Rick Chow didn’t testify in his trial and was found not guilty. It doesn’t mean that was the right move to make either. This case was doomed on a multitude of different levels.

My guess on why he didn’t take the stand is that he isn’t remorseful or couldn’t realistically fake remorse

If we’re guessing, I’d say he would have presented poorly and the defense knew that.

If he took the stand, he would have been convicted in three minutes instead of three hours.

I don’t think enough people are speaking about the poor job that his attorneys did. I will never understand it so many opportunities were missed.

He did not take the stand because he was not credible

Because having him testify would have been bad for the defense’s case. You as a criminal defense attorney should know that

Charitable read for defense team would be they deviated while rehearsing testimony as they realized he could not communicate in a way that came off sympathetic, likely because he isn’t. Charitable read for Anthony would be that his defense team was incompetent. Anthony’s lead defense counsel is experienced and on faculty at SMU Law, so I tend to err towards the former read.

I believe there is no way he would have helped the defense. I don’t think he could have come off as remorseful or sympathetic to the jury and his attorney knew this.

You also know, he would have been crossed examined. It would probably have not gone well.

prestonstark599 :
you are assuming that he had a persuasive reason and maybe that didn't exist. maybe the lawyer walked him through it and realized it would do more harm than good.

Maybe bc his PAID lawyers looked at the facts and had a truly honest conversation with him?

Do you know that his attorney advised him not to testify? I understand that sometimes your clients listen to you when you give advice on that, I also know that sometimes they don’t listen too. The decision to testify rests solely with the defendant in consultation with their attorney. But the decision is up to the defendant, always. In my jurisdiction we do a colloquy on the record so the defendant understands the decision for testimony rests with them.
