There is no "right" to address the court prior to the sentence being announced. Some judges permit it, some don't. If you are given the opportunity to do so, it is your decision if you want to, or not.

Do you need a law degree to speak on behalf of another at a sentencing?

Generally, yes. However you can testify as a witness if you have relevant information. A non-lawyer can provide information to the court at sentencing, but only a lawyer can represent the defendant and argue the case on his behalf.Another View: Disagree with the above answer. No, if the judge solicits or allows remarks from the gallery on the defendants character on which he may rely in delivering his sentence, the person delivering the statement need not be a member of the Bar.
