This is actual video of the judge in the Dr. Conrad Murray trial. The judge is instructing the jurors about what opening statements are and what the purpose of opening statements is. You will also see the prosecution present their opening statements. Notice how he tells the jurors what the prosecution will prove, how he numbers the arguments the prosecution will make, and gets the jurors ready to accept his case.
This is video of Dr. Conrad Murray's defense attorney's opening statements. How does it compare with the prosecution's opening statements? What do you think a juror would be thinking at this point?
