When it comes to reality and the verdict, the truth is often irrelevant in court, it's what either side can convince the judge/jury is reality.
Barney's axiom of jury service states "in any court, there are at least four sides to the story: The plantiff's, the defendant's, the verdict and the truth. Seldom do they concur and never are they precise."
Based on my limited jury service, I believe that is a more accurate of the state of American jurisprudence. |
Perhaps based on your limited jury service.
However, based on my 30+ years of successfully practicing law, I know that you're incorrect.
