There could be value in it in some cases I don't know in this one possibly in regards to confessions but if u think about Douglas garland... new evidence and new attempt to have farm search inadmissible if they can get any key evidence out on appeal but need grounds it helps to have...
Sadly i was in overflow so did not see garland i can say what i saw was graphic and a terrible thing happened it would be hard to be impartial as ajuror i think crowns closing was well laid out i had waited for closing to miss the one thing and i certainly didnt miss it ull have to excuse me...
I would imagine crown would lay out its case as how they see it and it wont be excessivly long as to keep jury attention and keep it rather freah in their minds however i could be wrong...am at court housetoday and once all is done and am allowed to will let u know how things go
