I apologize for the confusion. :
I didn't see any coverage of Grisham's trial, but I'd be surprised if his attorney let him say anything.
Liking / not-liking Grisham not withstanding, I was shocked by the outcome of that trial. Goes to show you that even criminal outcomes can be very unpredictable..
Sometimes it can be hard to defend a case without testimony by the defendant or witnesses.
Regardless of the Fifth Amendment, many jurors are suspicious of a defendant who doesn't testify in their own defense.
I didn't really try to follow it so don't know anything about how it unfolded in court.
