Alfred's attorney, Terry Segal, was sufficiently confident that Alfred would be found innocent that Segal recommended that Alfred not testify in his own defense. The resulting conviction was a body blow that is still being felt with every day of Alfred's life sentence.

Even though he did not testify, Alfred wrote many analyses of the case and certain evidence.
