After almost two and a half weeks, the Defense and Prosecution teams have picked twelve jurors and three alternates. They represent a cross section of Hennepin County, 20s, 30s, 40, 50s, women, men, black, white, everybody. They all have strongly divergent views that come from their life experiences. The real question is, now what.

I appear on WCCO with Adam Carter today to talk exactly that. Simply, it is now time to customize those openings, those cross examinations, those direct examinations to those people in from of you. Look at their quotes, their backgrounds, the things that bother then, the things that don’t, and craft your case just for them.

This is a story and telling the most compelling story that reflects the life narratives of these people is critical to each team’s success. They will be looking back at all of the videotape to decide what to do and when.
