Prosecutors Beware
Please avoid making arguments about how the jury can't "know what the defendant was thinking" when you are making your closing argument or not disclosing expert witnesses you are going to call despite a motion to disclose witnesses or you will be beat. I don't care if you have 30-40 years of experience -- my appellant brief will swat you down. Congrats, now you get to retry the case.
