: Stark County Law Library Blawg"Setting Limits on Sarcasm in the Courtroom"
In the news: "In a recent Connecticut Appellate Court challenge, Assistant Public Defender James Streeto argued that a prosecutor used too much sarcasm during a murder trial, thus depriving the defendant of a fair trial. The court did not agree, finding the remarks at issue "isolated and limited." Trial lawyer David W. Cooney says, overall, use of sarcasm is risky due to how it may be interpreted by the jurors. Other seasoned trial attorneys say if you're going to use sarcasm, just be selective about it."
