How does a court hearing work?
Two sides work to prove a defendant guilty or not guilty Defense – works for the
defendant Prosecution – works against the defendant
The jury (the 12 angry dudes) listen to both sides of the case They determine
guilt/innocence based on def. and pro. info.
NOT ON THEIR OWN BELIEFS!
