Once your Orange County drunk driving defense attorney has devised the theme of your case, the next step for him or her to do is to persuade the jury that it is only your key theme issues that matter in the case and that you will win on those issues. In order to convince the jurors that it is only your issues that are the crux of the case, your lawyer must set forth your defense theme at the very beginning of the case, during the selection of the jury, and repeatedly during any and every other possible opportunity.
For example, let’s say that your case theme is based on an argument that involves faulty machinery. Your attorney will have to come up with ways in which he or she can develop this theme during the course of the trial. For instance, when going through the process of selecting a jury, your Orange County drunk driving defense attorney should use this as his or her first opportunity to influence the individuals who will be making the decision regarding the fate of your case’s theory.
To effectively do this, your attorney will want to ask the prospective jurors questions that are in line with your faulty machinery theme, such as: whether or not he or she has ever considered the type of information that he or she would want to have prior to taking a breath test on the type of machine that’s being used; what type of information he or she would want before making the decision to even submit to a breath test on the particular machine at issue; and whether, if he or she were picked to be a juror in the case, evidence about problems or flaws with the machine would be important for him or her to hear.
It is questions like these that will allow the jurors to converse. Once they start talking, your lawyer will be able to judge how amenable they will be to your theme. This information can then be used to get rid of biased jurors and make improvements to your theme.
