And as I said before, if it was as easy as saying multiple eyewitnesses are lying because they don't like me then I would win 100% of my cases.
You are clearly the one who does not understand how it works.
I thought he state just had to provide evidence that removes reasonable doubt that a crime took place and that the person is guilty?
I think I did say that I was simplifying things, if it was easy then we could all be defense attorneys. However, out of the 2 if I had to choose the easier one to do. I would say defense is easier than prosecution. I mean for one thing, you don't have to convince all 12, you only have to convince 1 out of the 12.
For some reason you seem to assume that I thought you didn't have to pass a state bar exam in order to be a lawyer. People don't just pass this exam, well unless you are Frank Abernathy.
