Law students are told to argue both side of the issue, in the

THE GOSSIP TECHNIQUE.
An effective Gossip will never start out saying something bad about

Therefore, a good Gossip always starts out saying something Good
about Bo.
For example, “Bo is a great guy. You should see how much he does
for charity. On most days, you would be hard pressed to find a more
caring and wonderful guy…”
Now, by the time the gossip gets a few sentences into how great Bo
is, the other person is begging the Gossip to “give them the dirt on
Bo.”

defendant did not break anything, and they only opened a screen door
before walking in the house.”
Makes sense. The above is exactly what the defendant will assert.
And you are not wasting time with the empty phrasing of “Defendant
will argue..”
Now, quickly pivot, and go in the opposite direction:
