The Art Of Keeping Quiet

by | Jul 17, 2025 | Birth Injury, One Time in Court Story

There is never a better place to think before you speak than in a courtroom.

During jury selection for a birth injury case in Philadelphia, we posed a thoughtful question to the potential jurors: “Can you tell us about a time when someone had their mind made up and then changed it because of new evidence?”

The defense team quickly objected.

By doing so, they inadvertently revealed something important: they weren’t interested in fair, open-minded jurors.

After all, isn’t that the cornerstone of justice?

Isn’t a juror’s main job to simply keep an open mind?

Sometimes, saying nothing is the smarter move.

In this case, their objection spoke volumes—and it did not speak in their favor.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it’s time to take a stand.
