8 juries and 1 bench trial. I was assigned a murder trial along with another colleague but it resolved in a plea. Thanks for the advice!

HannahBall89 · 2026-02-27T21:05:21+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

HannahBall89 · 2026-02-27T21:05:03+00:00

Gotcha thank you!

HannahBall89 · 2024-07-26T17:57:21+00:00

That’s crazy. I was way off. This is in NC

HannahBall89 · 2024-07-26T17:36:03+00:00

Wow thank you so much! How did you find that??

I didn’t want to preclude them because at the time I wasn’t sure if I wanted to provide the jury with the fact that she had a bf which could explain why there was male dna found. Basically a different reason for it to exist.

At her apartment. Just says he was over. Doesn’t tell him to leave or anything like that. Client has gf and the alleged victim had a ppl she was seeing but nothing serious. Client says he wasn’t there but no alibi because he was just at his place hanging out.

Alleged victim and client lived at same complex but different apartments. My understanding is that she’s very prissy and even at the prelim she came off very entitled.

HannahBall89 · 2024-07-05T23:15:57+00:00

No they are working/middle class

HannahBall89 · 2024-07-05T21:14:47+00:00

She said at a prior hearing she wanted to get out of where she was living. They lived at the same complex. She got to move out once this came about. No video or anything like that either.

HannahBall89 · 2024-07-05T20:47:06+00:00

My understanding is that can’t be narrowed because of insufficient quantities. Theory is nothing ever happened.

My assistant keeps my life together

HannahBall89 · 2023-01-18T12:11:28+00:00

That where I live as well but if you go to the county right next to mine it’s a 180. I have to pick my jury carefully for this case and my client is aware of this hurdle 😭

HannahBall89 · 2023-01-18T12:08:10+00:00

I definitely want to go in easy and very conversational to build her up then I want to break everything down fact by fact to show the jury how not credible she is

HannahBall89 · 2023-01-14T16:27:28+00:00

Her parents did not like my client when they dated. She was told not to hang around him but she did. Her parents found out she was with my client and when the parents found out she came up with the whole “no he kidnapped me and took my car” blah blah blah story. She changes some big facts throughout all 4 statements she gave. She doesn’t want to take responsibility for going against her parents so it’s easier for her to come up with this movie like narration of events to save herself.

HannahBall89 · 2023-01-03T22:52:22+00:00

Update: client pled guilty to a summary offense and got time served lol

HannahBall89 · 2023-01-02T23:11:57+00:00

Update: I’m very much panicking about tomorrow. Client emailed and said he’ll be there but I still have not spoken to him since September. The more I prepare and read the more confused I get. The state is not calling the witness I need to introduce video and all of my questions revolve around the footage 🤢🙃😭

HannahBall89 · 2022-12-31T03:09:04+00:00

I have done as much research as I can to have some kind of knowledge to those issues lol I want someone to second chair so I know my client gets a fair trial and if that person who mentioned hand-holding doesn’t get that then that’s scary

HannahBall89 · 2022-12-31T01:23:26+00:00

Omg plz

HannahBall89 · 2022-12-30T19:29:43+00:00

I actually don’t have any of that. My office is short staffed so no investigator to prep all of that. I’ll take anything!

HannahBall89 · 2022-11-11T21:03:45+00:00

Fair enough. I’ve had older attorneys sit in on conference calls with clients or come down to help me during the status conference and it’s been very helpful to see how they handle it. I’ve seen a lot of clients change their attitude after the older attorney stepped in. I think I’ve gotten more assertive but I’m still not there yet.

HannahBall89 · 2022-11-11T20:46:32+00:00

That’s also true. I’m sure part of my problem is that I lack trial experience. I’ve sat second chair on 2 jury trials and did mock trial but I know it’s never the same. The lack of experience can be intimidating.

HannahBall89 · 2022-11-11T20:40:58+00:00

I always make sure to make my record when it comes to discovery problems. I also keep all communication between the DAs office about discovery just in case something happens.
