00:06
uh similar to the biggest trend is the

public opinion
00:09
the fact that you have to overcome
00:12
the presumption of guilt as opposed to
00:14
the presumption of innocence
00:16
that is what makes this case any sort of
00:18
sex crime case
00:19
more difficult than nearly anything else
00:22
overcoming public opinion is always
00:25
difficult and making sure that
00:27
the jury understands that just because a
00:30
person says it or just because a person
00:32
then says it in court doesn’t mean that
00:35
it’s true
00:35
it does not mean that that person’s word
00:38
is gospel
00:39
everyone needs to understand that there
00:40
is more more factors at play
00:42
than just one person’s word
