  • The opinion provides an in-depth analysis on an issue where rulings vary by judge.
  • Nealon determined that parties may present evidence during their opening statements so long as the material will be admitted into evidence at trial.

Whether lawyers are allowed present video excerpts during a trial’s opening statements varies from judge to judge, according to Messa & Associates founder Joseph Messa Jr.
