Opening Statements

yolo

Why can you not place your own words/ideas (maybe even slightly tweaked) into a witness(s) mouth? Sounds like those certain examinations are riddled with leading questions. Then again, I'm an under-grad pre-law major. If anyone can help with this question it'd be great! Nice video btw, Mr.EmoryLaw

So in a criminal defense trial.
You would paint the picture of the Complainant in an assault case the bad guy by showing his intent (Menes Rhea) to Trespass, intimidate and provoke?
Then show the defendant as one who was taking action to prevent bodily harm?
Thanks

Excellent.

Thank you. It answered some questions I had. BG

Great info. However, 1st person is "I". "She" is 3rd person. Maybe the presenter meant present tense?

Thanks for educating us

I salute you , thank you🙏

thank you i have learn a lot about closing and opening statement in court cases

Law or equity ? Which venue is it ? Have all received full disclosure, and oaths on the record first ? Oh; consumer goods ?

This guy is presenting techniques which can be used by either side. The problem is, if the prosecution uses these techniques, then they're testifying. That is illegal, it violates the defendants due process, and violates many of his civil rights.

He makes a couple of good points. But overall, you can disregard the rest. Anytime a prosecutor attempts to give an opening statement, he is considered to be testifying.
