Prosecution gets to close their case first, and defense gets the last word
defence^Whoever Wrote That Spelled Defense Wrong -_-^ but it was still right ^.^
The last word, so to speak, is given to the jury. If it decides a person is not guilty, there can be no questioning how it came to that conclusion. The person is free of that charge forever. Another "last word" is that in a criminal trial, the prosecution gets to make the final closing statement. In that respect , the prosecution has the last word.
The very end, closing, concluding, final...
The Prosecution has the burden of proof. Which means that they must prove the Defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Since they have the burden at trial, they get to make their opening statement first, call their witnesses first and have the last word in closing arguments. They also sit closest to the jurors in the courtroom.
One double-letter word for 'closing' is 'shutting'.
No, you do not capitalize the second word in the complimentary closing.
Death Bed Confession? Last Will and Testament?
Closing
Valediction.
Closing has two syllables.
