[Not Me]

I just heard a guy who was on Martha's jury say that the jury thought it important that the defense only put on one witness. He said it made her seem overconfident that this was not a big deal and arrogant.

I know that juries feel it is disrespectful to them when the defense feels it doesn't need to make its case, too.

He claimed that it did not matter to them that she didn't testify, but I don't believe that. I think he just said that because he knows if he said otherwise, it means that he failed to follow the judge's instructions not make inferences regarding her not testifying.
