An opening statement should be clear, and to the point, in a sincere way. It is important to only state facts and get the jury to relate to the case at his point. For example,ÊDue to the fact that the area that was vandalized was a high traffic area, and the subject matter was vulgar and inappropriate,Êit was important to remove it as quickly as possible.

In prosecution opening statement does the attorney tell you what the defense will testify?
No the defense attorney will cover that in THEIR opening statement. Every trial attorney's opening statements are unique to them. It is almost a trademark of their ability to operate in a trial atmosphere. There is no information required by statute, that MUST be covered in an opening statement, therefore the attorney may be as wide-ranging as they wish (within the bounds of offense being tried.) The prosecutor will tell the jury what the case is about and what they believe the evidence will show that will convince the jury to convict the defendant. They MAY allude to the testimony that will be offered by the defense but that is all.

Should evidence be admitted in a prosecution's opening statements?
Evidence is never admitted during the opening statement, and the judges usually admonish the jury specifically that opening statements are only argument and not evidence. However, prosecutors will often show to the jury some evidence that they intend to introduce during the trial, but if for some reason that evidence is not introduced during the trial, the defendant can move for a mistrial at the close of the prosecution's case.
