Should Alec Baldwin Testify in His Criminal Trial?

Quote: “The jury will want to hear from him (in the Rust case),” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“Since he is a famous person, there could be a star effect where the jury gives him the benefit of the doubt. Alec has suffered tremendously, and his emotional response to questioning can show that he had no intention of hurting anyone,”  explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm.
