Would there ever be a time when a defendant him/herself would make a closing argument and is there any circumstance where you would recommend that?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Even though represented by an attorney, occasionally a defendant will insist upon making a closing
argument in addition to the one given by the attorney. Whether this will be permitted is at the judge?s
discretion. If the defendant is self-represented, a closing argument is always permitted.
