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.
