That is possible - but if he had good testimony, he should have testified. There are limitations on what prior crimes can be introduced in a hearing: typically it is just crimes of dishonesty, and even then the test is whether it is more probative and prejudicial and largely just for the purposes of impeachment (kind of jumbling that up but I'm typing this from my phone on an elevator).Yes, and no. you can be innocent, testify and still lose. all your criminal past if it exists is up for scrutiny If you're on the stand. sometimes, shyt most of the time it's best if you stay in the defendant's chair and let your lawyer do his/her job.

Tory was going to jail regardless, simply because people, including the jury, believed Meg on her word .
Nothing Tory would have said would have made a bit of difference and the prosecution would have made him look worse. That's their job. They are good at it.

Is this what you guys saying?

Tory was going to jail because he did what he was accused of, and couldn't provide a plausible alternative interpretation of events.
