Trial by Story with Zander Carrie

About this episode

Defense attorney Zander Carrie discusses how storytelling and TLC training helped him win an acquittal in a challenging case.

In this episode of the Trial Lawyers College podcast, host Ron Estefan talks with defense attorney Zander Carrie about taking an apparently "unwinnable" case—meth in the defendant's system, a 10-year-old dead, and a skeptical rural courthouse—and how TLC training, brutal honesty in voir dire, and disciplined storytelling turned the case into an acquittal.
