Closing Arguments: Speak From The Heart

As stated above, it is most important that counsel appear to be completely sincere in everything he says and does. The best way to do this is to speak from the heart and tell the jury exactly what you think. If the jury senses that counsel is speaking candidly in a forthright manner about the issues in the case, the jury is more likely to have confidence in what is being said.
If you speak from the heart, by definition, you are being yourself. If you speak from the heart, by definition, you are being sincere. If you speak from the heart, a jury will recognize that you are doing so. This can only help your client because the jury is more likely to side with the attorney who strikes them as being the most fair, the most believable and the most genuine. Make sure that this person is you by speaking from the heart.
