Great post.

It's nearly always dangerous for a criminal defendant to testify, but you've listed many of the imprortant factors which must be considered. Another important factor is the strength of the prosecution's case. If it's weak, a defendant's testimony may be a gratuitous risk. On the other hand, if the prosecution's case is overwhelming, the defendant's testimony may be the only remaining hope.

If this case actually gets tried, it'll be interesting to see if Peterson testifies. If he does, the cross-examination is likely to be very brutal very extensive. It will be well worth watching. LOL

Good point. If they haven't got much to show, I guess the best defense strategy is for everyone to sit back and keep their big fat flapping lips shut! (Picture Geragos doing THAT... nahhhhh... )
