Defense Strategy in Criminal Cases
In criminal cases like the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, the defense strategy is crucial. The primary role of a defense lawyer is to create reasonable doubt from the evidence presented by the prosecution. It is essential to avoid overpromising in the opening statement and to carefully control the courtroom. The defense lawyer's focus should be on creating doubt from the government's own evidence while handling a difficult client.
