BURBANK TRIAL ATTORNEY HELPS CLIENT IN CRIMINAL JURY TRIAL

THE JUDGE ASKED THE ATTORNEYS IF THEY WERE READY TO PROCEED WITH THE JURY TRIAL. BOTH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE BURBANK CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY ANSWERED "READY FOR TRIAL". WITHIN 45 MINUTES THE VOIR DIRE PROCESS HAD BEGUN AND EACH SIDE WAS ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE POTENTIAL JURORS. THIS PART OF THE CASE CAN BE HARROWING FOR THE CLIENT AS THEY MUST SIT THROUGH A PROCESS WHERE SOME POTENTIAL JURORS LOOK AT THEM AND SAY THAT THEY MUST BE GUILTY IF THEY ARE SITTING AT THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY'S TABLE. EACH PERSON UP IN THE BOX IS QUESTIONED ABOUT THEIR PREJUDICES AND THEIR ABILITY TO BE FAIR. ALL YOU CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT THEY TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

ONCE THE JURY IS SELECTEDNEXT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY GIVES THEIR OPENING STATEMENTS WHERE THEY EXCLAIM THAT THE DEFENDANT SITTING AT THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY'S TABLE IS GUILTY AND THAT ALL THINGS RIGHT ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE PEOPLE. WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY TO GIVE HIS OPENING ARGUMENT, HE REMINDS THE JURORS THAT THE DEFENDANT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY AND THAT THE JURORS PROMISED NOT TO MAKE UP THEIR MINDS UNTIL DELIBERATIONS. NOW A REVIEW OF THE DEFENSE CASE IS GIVEN IN DETAIL BY THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND AS HE SITS DOWN HE ASKS THE JURORS TO "BE OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE DEFENDANT IS NOT GUILTY."

THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY PRESENTS THEIR CASE THROUGH WITNESSES AND ATTEMPTS TO ELICIT INFORMATION THAT CASTS THE DEFENDANT IN A FALSE LIGHT. THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY QUESTIONS EACH WITNESS ON CROSS EXAMINATION SHINNING LIGHT ON INCONSISTENCIES AND CROSS IMPEACHES THE PEOPLE'S WITNESSES. ONCE THE PEOPLE REST AND AFTER SOME PREFUNCTORY MOTIONS THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY CALL HIS WITNESSES AND USES THEM TO TELL THE DEFENDANT'S TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. THE LAST WITNESS TO TAKE THE STAND IS THE DEFENDANT. ONCE ALL OF THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED EACH SIDE IS GIVEN A CHANCE TO PRESENT A CLOSING ARGUMENT. THE PEOPLE GET TO DO AN OPENING CLOSING, THEN THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY GIVES HIS ONLY CLOSING AND THEN THE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED A FINAL CLOSING.

ONCE THE JURY IS GIVEN THE CASE IT TAKES THEM APPROXIMATELY TWO AND ONE HALF HOURS TO RETURN A NOT GUILTY VERDICT. THE JURORS REPORT THAT THEY REVIEWED ALL OF THE EVIDENCE AND WENT OVER EACH WITNESS' TESTIMONY. IT WAS A FAIR TRIAL AND A FAIR DELIBERATION AND THE FINAL RESULT WAS THAT THE BURBANK DEFENSE ATTORNEY HELPED HIS CLIENT THROUGH A CRIMINAL MISDEMEANOR TRIAL THAT LASTED ELEVEN DAYS CULMINATING IN A NOT GUILTY VERDICT IN EAST LOS ANGELES ON AUGUST 21, 2007.
