Do lawyers ever "play dirty" with the idea that a jury can't just disregard something? It is ineffectual recourse for bad evidence being introduced to ask people to pretend they didn't hear it.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoThey sometimes deliberately do so, yes. But the problem is that the jury may realize what the lawyer is doing, and it may bias the jury against that lawyer's side of the case. If one side is playing it straight, and you can tell the other is trying to manipulate you, that makes it easier for you to agree with the side that's playing it straight.
