"What approach should I take in order to get the jury on my side?"

Polling the jury is a process that can occur after a jury has returned a verdict, to verify that the result read in court was the decision actually reached by the jurors, either unanimously or by majority vote. Either the prosecuting attorney or the defense attorney can request that the jury be polled. The process involves the judge asking each individual juror if they are in agreement with the verdict.
can or can't the attorney would more than likely deem it an expression of a conflict of interest. why use the attorney that may have become or is partial with your wife since she gave the attorney information that may or may not be true. it is like the jury hearing something, then the judge tells them to discard it.AnswerYes you can. If the wife has not retained that attorney there is no reason that you cannot use him/her as long as you feel comfortable that the attorney will represent you to the best of his or her ability.
A grand jury witness can expect to answer questions from the prosecutor and defense attorney. They may also have to answer questions from the judge.
