This was the same feeling about the recent Martha Moxley case in CT until the attorney skill fully tied all the testimony together at the closing to construct the points so they all led to Skakel's conviction.

This 'example' has been tried before on these threads. It has also been totally debunked here. Are you all getting this crap from the same source?

SORRY,someone is filling you full of crapola.

I do not doubt that there have been cases where a DA pulled together loose ends and made his case, just don't try to pass over BS on me.

That's the atty's PURPOSE. Display the facts or evidence to the jury and then tie it all together in the end. Just what do you think the purpose of the "closing" statement is?

No, I live in CT and it was 24/7.

The larger point is that you really have no idea what the prosecutor's theory is yet. You are attempting to read between the lines and you may not be reading correctly.

tieing it all together...means summarizing it and presenting your 'argument'.

Click me
closing argument : the final address to the jury by the attorney for each side of a case in which the attorney usu. summarizes the evidence and his or her client's position (called also closing statement, final argument, summation, summing-up) Note: Rule 29.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure requires the prosecution to open the closing argument after the closing of the evidence. The defense replies, and the prosecution may offer a rebuttal

I am one who has posted the same statement as VRWC_minion before. I have never seen anyone "debunk" that observation. And I've never shared that thought with minion, either, for the record.
