On that point the jury are usually told not to draw any significance that the accused refused to take the stand. But I suspect it would be impossible to do so.
And thats another example of why jury instructions are important. A jury of 12 ordinary people would make decisions based upon their own opinions, and not the facts or the law otherwise.
