Logical Scenario


Criminal Defense Attorney Will Wright is facing District Attorney Harold Crumpler in a first degree murder trial.

Prosecution has paraded a host of witnesses and exhibits to nail the defendant to the wall. It is an open and shut case.

Attorney Will Wright has adopted a new strategy. Rather than to cross examine evidence of the prosecution, he has brought in a team of mathematicians to testify.

Judge Ben Withers has warned Attorney Wright, "Young man you're walking a very thin tightrope. This better be good or else I may find you in contempt of court for wasting my jurors' time!"

"Your Honor may it please the court my expert witnesses will best assist our jurors to derive the truth by applying mathematical science."

"Attorney Wright are you able to cite any precedents for your approach?"

"Your Honor DNA testing is merely a mathematical science to count chromosomes!"

Each side has presented its case to the jurors and now for the closing arguments:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury you have heard the case that District Attorney Crumpler has presented to convict my client of first degree murder. By all means it appears that everything you have seen or heard is true.

However, my mathematical experts have presented scientific proof that everything the prosecution has deceived you to believe is a ball face lie!"

Moral of my story is: Proof and fact are mathematical terms that may only be verified by mathematical science.

Closing Arguments


Objective means not influenced by one's emotions, thus leads to reality of the truth.

Subjective means influenced by one's emotions, thus leads to mis-perception of the truth.

Prosecution cases have been premised upon provoking emotional bias by presenting incriminating testimonies or exhibits to prejudice the minds' of jurors.

Legal objective of any procedure (civil or criminal) is to examine all the facts and derive a verdict based solely on the evidence presented void of any emotional bias or subjective opinions of jurors.

Rom1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Amen!
