Intuition and a phd in argumentation.

Its no good engaging all the prosecution evidence and frankly its simply not possible. You need to know the evidence but before trial you have to process it to its core. And then when you get in front of a jury you need to make a call on where the touchstone is.The touchstone is an issue that encapsulates the case in all its facets. It may not be pretty. And remember you are better off with a donkey that makes it right to the end of the track albeit in a broken down condition than you are with a thoroughbred that breaks down halfway and you have to change horses. The problem is that halfway through there are no other horses.
