Hello Kristan, I trust the most beneficiary to the case would be to use the claim of abuse for the closing statement, mostly because she doesn’t have any record in which abuse ever occurred. Closing argument supposed to be the winning statement that convince the jury that the defendant is guilty of that crime. However, burglary would be another way to go, but it wouldn’t convince the jury as much as the claim of abuse would, especially along with an unfaithful wife. I would imagine to get the attention of the jury would be to start off with something factual.
