To the casual observer, the fact that James King is not going to take the stand to defend himself is suspicious. What does he have to hide? a jury (and reader) might wonder. Steve wonders this himself and even asks his attorney, O'Brien, if King will testify. It seems Steve is still a little afraid of James King and what his testimony might do to Steve's chances of getting a not guilty charge. He doesn't need to be afraid, though, as O'Brien reassures him that King testifying would be a bad idea, since he already clearly lied to the police. A prosecutor could make him look very bad in light of that. It's better to hear only from his relatives and friends: Nipping and Moore.
