Professor Rose teaches Opening Statement using examples by Stetson Student Meagan O'Shea

Ms. O'Shea provides a first rate example of a defense opening that points the finger at a particular alternative suspect, often referred to as the "SODDIT" defense. (Some other dude/dudette did it). Pay attention to the her physicality in the courtroom - her tone, movement and eye contact are what superior advocates should strive to emulate.
