Skordas said the defense doesn't have to give opening statements on the first day. If they do, the jury — and the public — may find out if they plan to call Daybell to testify. Family members, who so far have not been present at the trial, are expected to sit in court for this huge day.ruling last week from Judge Steven Boyce
