This is why attorneys use more emotion based arguments when before a jury instead of a judge. No only do lay persons like you and I not have legal education but we’re less likely to follow dry technical and boring evidence and legal details. (If the legal technicalities and detailed evidence do help their client they might ask for a bench trial!)
