    A woman browses in a knick-knack store that has a sign: “You Break It – You Buy It.” Sure enough, she accidentally breaks a figurine – and it has a $78 price tag! The woman protests: “That wasn't worth $78! And your shelf sticks out too much!" Christian Morris presented that scenario to jurors in a case where her client was injured in a low-property damage incident. Tune in to hear what Christian learned from juror reactions to the story. And stay tuned as shares her voir dire playbook with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer, including how she navigates damages, peremptory challenges, and notes.

    Jesse Wilson – Why Jurors Root for "I Can" Over "I Can't"
    Jan 12 2026
    Everybody loves an underdog story - so why do lawyers often tell the opposite in the courtroom? Juilliard-trained actor and jury trial consultant Jesse Wilson developed a “victim-to-victor” approach that capitalizes on the universal appeal of “I can” instead of “I can’t.” In this conversation with hosts Dan Kramer and Harry Plotkin, Jesse explains that jurors respond more powerfully when they see strength rather than just suffering. Tune in for his insights about treating yourself as "the most important juror" to transform your courtroom presence and ditching performative "good morning" pleasantries to create genuine connection.Learn More and Connect☑️ Jesse Wilson | X | LinkedIn | Instagram | TikTok☑️ Tell The Winning Story | Facebook | YouTube ☑️ Harry Plotkin | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Dan Kramer | LinkedIn ☑️ Kramer Trial Lawyers on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPodsEpisode sponsored by Tisa Film and
