when I first heard about it, I thought: there are juries in criminal cases in America. As a defense lawyer, he must convince the jury. If I were a member of the jury and knew that he had such a record, I would definitely want to challenge him. I don't want to hear what he says.
however, why has he won every game for decades?
didn't a jury deliberately make things difficult for him?
Later, after I read his book How to Debate and Win Every Time, I understood. The book says: once, he met a jury with more personality. Just before the jury made a final decision and declared the defendant guilty or innocent, Gaimore told them a story: < P > Once upon a time, there was an old man and a young man. The old man is very clever, and young people always want to beat him.
one day, the young man came up with an idea. He went to catch a bird, hid it between his hands, walked up to the old man and said, "Guess, is the bird in my hand alive or dead?"
If the old man guessed that it was dead, the young man would open his hand and let the bird fly away, indicating that the old man was wrong. On the contrary, if the old man guessed that it was alive, the young man would secretly trample the bird to death with his hand. Then, the old man also guessed wrong.
"what do you think?" The old man said.
The old man smiled and said,
"Friend! Now that the poor bird is in your hands, it's up to you to live or die! "
After the story was finished, the jury went in for a meeting, and Gaimore won again.
what skills did he use?
He didn't like the eloquence in the whole defense process, but at the end, his posture was lowered and the jury held high, as if to tell you:
"Yes! I am a famous lawyer, and my defense is very strong. But the final decision, that is, the life and death of this defendant, is still in your hands! "
everyone has a desire to be praised, and subconsciously they are willing to be praised by others, especially those who are prestigious. Keep your posture low, and others will naturally care about your opinion.
