Steadman Hears Defense Testimony On Testimony Decision
In Boston a murder case moves toward Mrs Steadman taking the stand as Massachusetts rules allow a defendant to testify or not with the jury to be uninfluenced by the choice. Jurors have not yet heard from physicians at Boston City Hospital who treated her after Emery’s death. A judge ruled she is competent to testify and police witnesses described her hospital statement about a rope around Emery’s neck. A second noose was found in a bathroom and the defense tied it to a point in their strategy with limited disclosure.
