The Rule-Out method of criminal defense, easily learned, gets most jurors to want to decide verdicts based solely on reasonable doubts -- which, perhaps unexpectedly, few jurors normally do on their own no matter how you explain it. Instead, most convictions result from burden shifting, the usual demand by jurors that the defense attorney prove innocence. Rule Out prevents this, teaches how to find plentiful reasonable doubts, and shows how to avoid the common practices that cause most convictions.

The Rule-Out Method of Criminal Defense brings defense advocacy back to its intended strengths, teaching readers how to find and show plentiful reasonable doubts that counsel most often misses. It also showcases how to avoid common practices that cause most convictions.
