The wood for the trees

There are many cases where there are mountains of issues within the evidence which you could grind yourself to a pulp challenging and you probably need to challenge those issues for appearances sake but regardless of that you will find yourself dealing with an intangible flavour which the evidence creates. It is that overall flavour that you will be fighting. Some people call it common sense, its like an intangible glue. Thats why its often extremely important to grapple with the big picture and you are not neccessarily going to be successful in doing that by nitpicking at the evidence. Often a client will be extremely fixated with a particular which really bugs the hell out of them and often quite rightfully so. However nine times out of ten that issue will be completely beside the point in terms of the case that must be met in court. That is why it is important for a person charged with a serious crime to have objective representation so that the issues that might be otherwise be damning can be dealt to.
