But, a lawyer’s job is not that grand – uh uh – the job is not to
KNOW.
It’s to NOT know.
The only way the system works is because we all play our roles.
My role is defence,
the prosecutor prosecutes;
we each tell a story
and the jury DECIDE which story is the one they believe. They
take the responsibility.
A good lawyer just tells the best version of their client’s story.
Nothing more.
Nothing else.
Just the storyteller, the voice piece.
Never judge,
never ever judge.
Never decide!

‘Never assume anyone is telling you the truth – even yourself.
There is no real truth, only legal truth.
Don’t trust your gut instincts only your legal instincts.
You will get it wrong if you think you know what will happen.

Yes.
Yes.
No.
No.
I think so.
No it was the second time.
Yes I think so,
sorry?
No.
Yes I’m sure.
I don’t know.
Maybe my idea.
I think so.
Do I agree?
Yes.
Yes,
yes.
A few.
Quite a few, yes.
Six.
Well perhaps,
yes, maybe eight.
