Date: October 12th, 2017 12:18 PM Author: Puce idea he suggested litigation isn't trial work. writing a 12b6 is totally different from getting a jury to laugh at the ugly plaintiff.
my tip is train the jury to know opposing counsel is a shlub. look down at him. treat him like a bad daughter. |

|
Date: October 12th, 2017 12:24 PM Author: Puce idea he suggested leading questions, don't let them say anything but "yes."
"you then walked into the backroom, yes?"
"you then stood there as everyone left you and weinstein alone, correct?"
"you laughed while he talked about casting couch videos, correct?"
"oh, and as an aside, he never once threatened you or touched you?"
"and you're suing for millions which is a lot for a poor redneck, right?" |
|
Date: October 12th, 2017 12:25 PM Author: Galvanic Location Volcanic Crater haha..nice...its hard though i would imagine to keep the flow moving in terms of only asking leading questions...and is there any moment when it would be appropriate to ask a witness on cross an open ending question?

Date: October 12th, 2017 12:42 PM Author: Puce idea he suggested give an example using the "yes" path? it seems if they refuse to answer you look at the jury, then back to the witness and say "so you refuse to answer? you don't want us to know, huh?"

Date: October 13th, 2017 10:05 PM Author: Passionate beta puppy voir dire is very very important. more important than you think. if you get a weird vibe from someone, even if they're giving all the right answers, get rid of them. figure out what your model juror is like and what your worst juror is like. fight for the former and get rid of the latter.
your credibility is the next most important thing. jury is, most likely, not the brightest folks and lack the capacity to draw correct logical conclusions, so it will be your job to do it for them, and you need them to believe you and not the other guy. eye contact; clear and concise, but not too dumbed down, language; straightforward, easy-to-follow conclusions; sincere passion - these help you make that connection.
jurys often decide first if they think the defendant is guilty or not based on a hunch, and then based on that decision back into conclusions about the credibility of witnesses, sufficiency of evidence, etc. you want them on your side before you even get to the evidence. once they've decided whose side they're on, it's very difficult to win them back. |
