Thomas Mayr's Countering Misleading Tactic by DA:
See the attached jpegs (drag to your desktop to use). It looks like "JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS" with the bottom half covered up. I ask jurors to recall how the prosecutor showed the puzzle with the missing pieces or the picture of FDR.
I then ask them to recall why the prosecutor showed them that: to try and convince them that it's ok to not have "all the facts" in order to convict. I then remove the bottom half covered up to reveal that what it really says is "IUMRING TQ GQNGIUSIQNS."
I then ask, "Do you see the problem with jumping to conclusions?" and then will sometimes follow that up with something about how innocent people get wrongly convicted because a prosecutor gets a jury to just "jump to a conclusion."
The point is that the jurors need to demand all of the facts from the State.
