Kevin J. O’Brien writes “This case is unusual for several reasons. For one thing, Bankman-Fried took the stand in his own defense. Although perhaps more common than it once was, testifying in one’s criminal trial is risky because it exposes a defendant to cross-examination and, should he be found guilty, to a longer prison term for false testimony under oath. On the other hand, Bankman-Fried and his lawyers may have felt he had little choice but to testify, since by most accounts the trial had not gone well for him up to that point.”
