What happens in the opening argument of a trial?
During opening arguments the prosecution presents theirs first, they will explain to a jury all of the circumstances of the case and explain what they will present to prove all of the evidence along with the type of testimony for the jury/judge to expect from any scheduled witnesses. The defense can present an opening argument at that time or they can reserve the option until after the prosecution presents their case. If the defense chooses to proceed with the opening they will explain why the Prosecutions case will be flawed, and what witnesses the defense will present to rebut the testimony of the prosecution witnesses.
