Summary:

The Court considers a proposed rule change that would give prosecutors the right to give the first closing argument to the jury and also, after the defense has presented its closing argument to the jury, a final closing argument. Under the previous rule, defendants who did not call any witnesses other than themselves had the right to make the opening and closing final argument.
