Answer to Question 1

Although in 1972 it was ruled that defendants have a right to testify at any stage of the defense, this right is usually not exercised. Defendants who choose to take the stand may be criminally prosecuted for perjury if they offer untruthful testimony, including offering false alibis or fraudulent evidence. Defendants may also accidently offer prejudicial evidence to their own detriment, and it has been found that a defendant's previous criminal history may be exposed. Still there is the prejudice ideology that innocent people would testify on their own behalf and the guilty would not.
