We already know what Declan Porter's going to say, that there was no one else on the beach that night.
Which is a lie.
Unfortunately, you were under the influence of prescription pills that the time. Which means we can't put you on the stand to refute his testimony.
However, I do have an expert who will testify that the blood spatter on Daniel's jacket shows no evidence he dragged Tyler's body over 30 yards up the beach.
Which means someone else must have.
We just need to get the jury to see it that way. But before we create reasonable doubt, we have to paint Daniel to sympathetic, which is why I've decided to open my argument by putting Emily on the stand.
Emily?
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Mr Brooks, this is an enormous responsibility. Emily isn't even family yet.
She's Daniel's fiancée, supporting him by choice, not obligation. It's your job to appear caring, accessible to articulate for the jury all the reasons you fell in love with Daniel. So they will, too.
Well, explaining all the reasons why I love Daniel shouldn't be difficult.
Good, because of forensic evidence is not on our side.
We're going to have to build an emotional connection between the jury and Daniel.

我們已經知道了Declan Porter會聲稱說當晚海灘上沒有人。
他在說謊。
不幸的是，由於你當時的精神狀態不穩定，你並不能出庭作證反駁對方的證詞。
但是，我找到了一位專家，對Daniel的夾克做了血濺分析，證據顯示他沒有把Tyler的屍體在海灘上拖了30碼。
說明還有人在。
我們得讓陪審團也相信這一點。但是在我們在提出合理的犯罪嫌疑人之前，我們得讓Daniel博取同情。所以我決定讓Emily作爲辯方人第一個出庭作證。
Emily?
你確定這樣好嗎？
Brooks先生，這件事事關重大，Emily甚至還不是我們的家庭成員。
她是Daniel的未婚妻，出於自願支持他，而不是出於義務。你要表現出關心和體諒，告訴陪審團成員你深愛Daniel的原因。這樣他們也會感同身受。
闡述愛上Daniel的原因應該不難。
那就好，因爲呈堂供詞對我們不利。我們必須要在陪審團和Daniel之間建立情感上的共鳴。
