I have a question regarding a case in Arizona. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a conviction and threw out the confession. Now during the retrial the defendant wanted to testify, but his lawyer aggressively recommended against that decision. Apparently in Arizona if a defendant testifies, the court/prosecutors can now bring in the confession that was thrown out (as a result of his appeal win). I would like to know if this is true. Even though his confession is not admissible can the state bring it into evidence if the defendant testifies?
