"The defense in a trial works one way or another depending on whether you have money"

The strategies of lawyers to convince popular juries, with judges who are in contact with the courts for the first time, do not only take into account how to choose the profile of the person who suits them best in each case. In large trials, they also have advisors who advise them on which evidence can best support their defense and how to present it to the jury. Sometimes they also surround themselves with investigators who work in parallel with the police so that the defense can anticipate the evidence that will be against the accused. Although the jurists consulted agree that this model is becoming increasingly widespread, it is by no means common and is used in a very small part of judicial proceedings in Catalonia. In large part, because it entails a much higher cost than a defense with a single lawyer, or a free one by appointment. "The defense in a trial works one way if you have money; if not, it works another way," summarizes the specialist in legal and forensic psychology Miquel Àngel Soria.
