This may be an okay theory if you're talking about a one or two day trial, but here, the jury has been inundated with bullshit for a solid week, with constant breaks, they're probably completely sick of courthouse coffee, and barely awake. Also they've had their entire lives stolen, if they have jobs, they're not getting paid, they're getting the insult lmao fuck you payment of $20 a day, and with the way they've been treated by the prosecution, they have, until now, been given a zero-facts diet and a bunch of boo-hoo bullshit.I believe the idea is you have your most impactful people speak last as to make them as possible present in the memory of the jury. If you flip the order of people we've seen this guy goes first and then 21 days later the person fresh in the mind of the jury is the retarded slackjawed woman working the gas station across the street.
The prosecution should have started out by doing their best to establish that Chauvin actually killed Floyd. Instead we've had boo-hoo I had such feels and other such nonsense. Now maybe this actually works in current year, feels being so much important than reals these days. It just strikes me as bad timing.
First you establish the defendant actually did something wrong, then you bring out the waterworks.
Maybe I'm fucking old-fashioned and the times have moved on past me.
