I'm not as familiar with the British system. Will the prosecution weave together the facts in evidence to give what it believes is the most likely scenario? Using all the disparate facts and testimonies, will we learn something about the timing of the different attacks on the boy? The evidence regarding the youth seems rather thin. When did he attack Logan as opposed to being attacked by JC alone? It seems like a weaker case. Why did JC choose the youth over the mother of his child? It would have been credible for both the adults to point the finger at him.
They can't get creative with it, they can only reiterate the evidence the jury has heard already, but of course their skill is doing so in such a way that they leave a strong impression in their minds.
This is an interesting site for more information about how courts work. (Also bear in mind there are other legal systems in Britain. The jurisdiction for this case is the law of England and Wales. Scotland has it's own completely separate legal system, so this site link would not be helpful there).
