  • This episode of “Next Witness…Please” dives into different kinds of motions filed by defendants in criminal cases and why they are so important.

    Retired judges Tom Hodson and Gayle Williams-Byers guide you through the strategies behind filing “pre-trial” and “during trial” motions in a criminal case.

    They talk about motions in limine, motions to suppress evidence, motions for mistrials and motions to acquit.

    They also unfold some of the mysteries and strategies behind closing arguments for both the prosecution and the defense.

    How important are closing arguments anyway? Do they really help guide juries to a verdict?

    Are closing arguments just food for attorney egos or are they really critical to jury decision making? Listen and find out.
