Who are the first two parties? Typically, the prosecutor, defense attorney and judge will be speaking. The prosecutor will call some witnesses, who will be speaking. Do you consider then third parties? The defendant may testify if he wishes. The defendant may also call witnesss to tesify for him. If you are not called as a witness, you typically will not be saying anything. The fact that you are writing rather than conferring with the defendant's attorney either means the defendant has no attorney, or you and the attorney have a philosopical disagreement. That means you need to locate a new attorney, before you are standing outside of a prison somewhere protesting. See my website: www.lawrencelewispc.com. Good luck
