Grippando, James, 1958- Jack Swyteck novel.

Title from web page

Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck must contend with a unique problem. His client, Elliott Stafford, indicted for murder, has gone silent. Not just silent in asserting his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, Elliott refuses to speak. He won't talk to the judge, his girlfriend, or even the attorney fighting for his life. There seems to be no medical or psychological reason for his silence. He has, as Jack puts it, chosen to become his own worst enemy. To some, it's an act of protest against a broken criminal justice system. Jack doesn't buy it
