Hey @chrisgeidner - state has first closing, then defense, then state gets to rebut and that's it -- normal? Thought defense got last word
@thrasherxy I'd imagine that is a state-by-state thing, as each state has its own criminal procedures (w constitutional limits).

@chrisgeidner Thanks, will look up. Thought defense had last word so was surprised. -
@thrasherxy@chrisgeidner generally speaking State gets a closing rebuttal but not the defense http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/criminal-trial-procedures-overview-29509.html …pic.twitter.com/Rsh9L8Qhm5

@thrasherxy@chrisgeidner it's a little counterintuitive if you're thinking defendants get advantage but remember State has burden of proof -
@MileHighJoe1@thrasherxy That is not Missouri-specific, however, which was what I was saying. -
@chrisgeidner@thrasherxy here's Missouri procedure, same State-only rebuttalpic.twitter.com/c1z4TPqOdY
