“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”

John Adams, defending British soldiers, Boston Massacre trial 1770

Power of Truth

Truth is persuasive. That’s important to us because in criminal court cases, we engage in a search for the truth. Of course, we can access large amounts of information. And the court process is adversarial. But when the government prosecutes someone, they develop their theory of guilt and, after that, they cherry pick information they can twist into a puzzle quilt of guilt. So, what is the best defense against a false charge and untrue story of guilt? The truth.

When we point to the true facts, within their proper context, we can help everyone see what is true. Every case is different. And criminal cases are highly fact dependent. But we can use the law, and its best principles, to identify and highlight the most important facts – the facts that show the truth. This is how we win.
