M.I.S.T.? Gap in treatment? Objective vs. Subjective? Comparative fault?
Crush the classic unfair defenses by framing your case to show the defense is unfair, even absurd. Kimball will show you how to win the credibility battle in challenging cases, turning perceived weaknesses into strengths by:
- Framing your case early (begins in voir dire)
- Using opening to (1) teach correct principles, (2) tell your client's story, and (3) enlighten the jury on why they should not put stock in the unfair defenses
- Maximizing cross--tell your client's story and create memorable moments for the jury (and the defense expert)
- Minimizing directs--you may need many witnesses, but each witness should take no more time than is absolutely necessary
- Tying it up in closing
- Never miss an opportunity to tell a love story
