trial. The prosecution and defense both relied on physical evidence and eye witness testimony when presenting their cases and it appears that neither side attempted to acted unethically in doing so. It could be argued that the defense was guilty of misconduct by not trying to argue that Davis was innocent of the crimes and rather they only attempted to dispute the charge of attempting a “lewd act on a minor” (176).
