If you argue too many issues rather than choosing only those that are relevant and winnable, it becomes harder to focus the attention of the jury to the point you are trying to make. Worse, you also give the opposing counsel the opportunity to pick apart the weaker issues and give the jury the impression that they are dismantling your arguments.
A good lawyer knows that the jury cannot digest every single argument. Thus, he will focus on making a few strong arguments and keep hammering at them to create the impression that his case is strong.
Just review the OJ case and you will see that the strategy of the defense was to nitpick just one or two of the prosecution's arguments, like the small size of the gloves. In the end, that's all that the jury focused on and all the rest of the prosecution's arguments, testimonies and evidence were disregarded.
but like i said, a prosecutor has argue all of his points, if he doesnt, hes precluded from arguing them later....which would probably lead to, u guessed it, a malpractice suit.
