Answer to Question 1

First, if the defendant is present but exercises his or her Fifth Amendment rights by refusing to take the stand, the jury may conclude that he or she has something to hide. The defendant's appearance in the courtroom may also prejudice his or her case by reminding jurors about the crime.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
