There are times for a defendant to take the stand, and times not to. Your husband's attorney has been able to assess your husband and the case against him. That attonrey is in a better position to evaluate the case and yrou husband. None here can contradict thta advice, based upon the limited amount of facts you are able to provide through this forum.

Good luck
