Text

The defendant in all criminal cases, in all the courts in this
state, may be sworn and examined as a witness, if he so elects,
but the defendant shall not be required to testify in any case
unless he has been lawfully granted immunity from prosecution,
penalty or forfeiture. The neglect or refusal of a defendant to
testify without immunity having been granted shall not create
any presumption against him, nor shall any reference be made to,
