About This Video Replay

"I will be encouraging criminal defense attorneys to take a different approach to jury trials.  Instead of trying to prove to the jurors that our clients are innocent, we should be emphasizing the legal principle that the presumption of innocence has already given our clients that protection.  And since the prosecutor has the sole burden of proof, our role as defense counsel should be to help the jurors discover reasons to doubt, not to try to prove another version of the facts. 

I will be using the Chinese concept of “Wu Wei” to suggest the less we try to prove the better our results at trial.  In my own practice, when I adopted this approach and “stopped trying,” I started winning, hence the title of the webinar.  I hope you will join us." Karl P. Numinen
