A lawyer shouldn't throw his client under the bus like that publicly, even if his client is a gigantic gaping asshole, like here. It's always a risk letting a defendant testify. In this case it probably didn't matter. There was a ton of evidence against him.
Seems like he’s just reaching for publicity points here. But I agree with you. This would scare me off from hiring this attorney if I needed their services, especially if I was a gigantic gaping asshole.
