Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section XV-1383 - Defense StrategyA. The attorney should develop, in consultation with the child client, an overall defense strategy. In deciding on a defense strategy, the attorney should consider whether the child client's legal interests are best served by not putting on a defense case, and instead relying on the prosecution's failure to meet its constitutional burden of proving each element beyond a reasonable doubt. In developing and presenting the defense case, the attorney should consider the implications it may have for a rebuttal by the prosecutor.La. Admin. Code tit. 22, § XV-1383
