Description
The Rule-Out Method of Criminal Defense David Ball ISBN 9781639054404
The strategy every criminal defense lawyer needs to win.
“This book is a game changer.” —Richard S. Jaffe, Founding and Senior Partner, Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C.
The Rule-Out Method offers a powerful, easy-to-learn approach to criminal defense that reshapes how jurors reach their verdicts. While jurors are instructed to decide cases based on reasonable doubt, most do not actually do so in practice. Instead, convictions often occur because jurors subconsciously shift the burden of proof, expecting the defense to prove innocence. The Rule-Out Method stops that shift in its tracks.
This book teaches defense attorneys how to identify abundant, persuasive reasonable doubts and present them in a way jurors naturally understand and accept. It also reveals common trial practices that unintentionally lead to convictions—and shows how to avoid them. By changing how jurors think about the evidence, the Rule-Out Method restores the prosecution’s burden where it belongs.
Adopt this proven strategy, transform your trial approach, and change the outcome for your client with the essential Rule-Out Method.
