The trial of a case is based on facts and takes the law as the criterion. Whether the family members go or not has no substantive impact on the case. But for the defendant, the existence of family members or relatives and friends may also comfort or support his psychology. Of course, sometimes it may backfire, and it is better to do it according to the defendant's own opinion.
