You must be a better attorney than me. When I was doing criminal defense I had a hell of a time proving the cops were lying on the stand.


It depends doesn't it? DWIs are the easiest because the statements all say the same thing, but there is always a DVD. So the jury can see that you're client wasn't swaying and wasn't slurring his words and so on and so forth. That is why DWIs only have a about a fifty percent conviction rate for those that actually go to trial.
