What does it really take to win a criminal jury trial?
In this episode of Your Injury Lawyer Podcast, Bill Berke sits down with criminal defense attorney Spencer Cordell to break down courtroom strategy from both sides of the aisle. Spencer shares his journey from growing up in Cincinnati to attending Boston University Law School, working as a prosecutor in Southwest Florida, and eventually building his own criminal defense practice.
This conversation dives deep into:
- How mock trial training shapes real courtroom performance
- The difference between prosecuting and defending criminal cases
- Jury selection strategy in Florida criminal trials
- How to cross-examine police officers effectively
- When to reveal weaknesses in deposition — and when to hold them for trial
- Crafting focused defenses that actually resonate with juries
- The psychology of persuasion in criminal court
Spencer explains why specific, theory-driven defenses outperform scattered arguments — and how trial lawyers must constantly balance credibility, strategy, and jury perception.
Whether you're a trial attorney, law student, or simply interested in how criminal trials really work behind the scenes, this episode delivers practical insights from over 20 years in the courtroom.
