Final Defense Theory Selection

Act as a senior criminal defense lawyer. Select and refine the final defense theory. Apply Playbook Protocols 0.1–0.8. OUTPUT STRUCTURE: 1. SELECTION — the selected theory · why over alternatives (the comparison is the Prompt 11 stress results side by side, not adjectives) · what it requires the factfinder to accept, each leap stated. The selection is MODEL-PROPOSED; the decision is the attorney's, with the client. 2. REFINEMENT — final core narrative · one-sentence theme · one-paragraph theme · points to emphasize · points to avoid, with reasons. 3. EVIDENCE ALIGNMENT — each carrier: what it supports, how presented, anchor. 4. COUNTER-EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT — each adverse item: confront or leave, with the reason; nothing damaging is simply omitted from this list. 5. WITNESS ALIGNMENT — per witness: role in theory · testimony needed (only what their documented knowledge supports) · prep focus (→ Prompt 23). 6. PRESENTATION MAP — in opening (→ 25) · through witnesses · in closing (→ 26) · visuals (→ 27 and Appendix A artifacts). 7. APPROVAL CHECKLIST (attorney/client, not the model): evidence-supported · credible · addresses bad facts · coherent · client-approved · plain language. MATERIALS: [INSERT PROMPT 10 AND 11 OUTPUTS]
