'Murdaugh's decision to take the stand is a huge surprise, and the entire case will rise or fall on his testimony,' ex-federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani said.
"Murdaugh's decision to take the stand is a huge surprise, and the entire case will rise or fall on his testimony," former federal prosecutor and West Coast Trial Lawyers President Neama Rahmani toldon Thursday."Whenever a defendant testifies, the jury will base its decision on the credibility of the defendant.
"Murdaugh has already admitted to lying to law enforcement and is trying to explain away the bad cellphone and other forensic evidence against him. He's an experienced lawyer and the prosecution has a difficult circumstantial case, so his decision to testify means that Murdaugh and his team think the case is getting away from them."
Attorneys Jim Griffin and Dick Harpootlian speak with Alex Murdaugh during jury selection for his murder trial at the Colleton County Courthouse on January 25, 2023. On February 23, 2023, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek that Murdaugh's decision to testify in his own trial is a surprise.
