plus, the defense has the opportunity to retort any cross examination that may harm you on the stand. its not like whatever is damaging in cross exam cannot be clarified by the defense.

Yes, after watching many lawyer shows on television I have learned that it's best to listen to the professionals. lol
But seriously...yes, I would probably argue with my lawyers about it. And then, because I like to think I'm reasonably intelligent, I'd hear what they think would happen if I did take the stand.
And then, because I don't want to go to jail...I'd listen and heed their advice.
I know that here on GFY we are all experts, but in the real world I'd listen to the real experts (and then later come on GFY and tell you that I disagreed with them lol)
